Abstract:
In recent years, the technological developments in MRI have made it possible to perform routine cardiovascular imaging with MR. The availability of a vectorcardiogram, real time interactive scanning, SENSE and optimized protocols (balanced FFE) have made it possible to evaluate wall motion, perfusion and viability at rest and under stress. All vessels can be visualized, including the coronary arteries. In the near future, MRI will be capable of distinguishing between calcified and lipid plaque, and will even allow interventional applications.
