Abstract:
Cardiovascular magnetic resonance is a noninvasive imaging modality that provides superior anatomical and functional information in the absence of ionizing radiation. The cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging program has been active at the Quebec Heart Institute at Laval Hospital for two years, now providing advanced imaging studies to over 42 referral centres from eastern and central Quebec as well as providing training for national and international fellows. The program benefits from the collborative work of cardiologists and radiologists, who both bring to the table their unique expertise. The following text reviews current clinical applications useful in the daily practice of the cardiovascular specialist.

Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...
