Abstract:
Improvements in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have increased its value in existing cardiovascular applications and opened the door to new uses. The image quality and spatial resolution of cardiovascular MRI is better than that of most other noninvasive imaging procedures. In addition, MRI can measure and map biochemical markers diminished by ischemic damage.
