Abstract

The clinical use of magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) has rapidly expanded as technological advances in both hardware and imaging techniques overcome previous limitations. This is particularly true for imaging of patients with congenital heart disease (CHD), who are often younger and frequently require continued, lifelong imaging follow-up. In this chapter, we will review recent developments in contrast-enhanced (CE) MRA and non-contrast-enhanced (NCE) MRA techniques applicable to CHD.
