Abstract:
Establishing a clinical cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) program needs a dedicated technical surroundings as well as a specific and expert staff. These guidelines based either on proofs or on expert consensus are stated in order to help the physicians to reach or maintain the competence required for clinical use of cardiovascular MRI. After the general safety statements, the guidelines are focused on hardware and software requirements, the MRI sequences and views, the post-acquisition analysis, and the staff. Specific safety concerns are then approached, more particularly stress testing MRI.

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...
