Abstract:
Advances in technology have made it possible to image the microstructure of the heart with diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance. The technique provides unique insights into the cellular architecture of the myocardium and how this is perturbed in a range of disease contexts. In this review, the physical basis of diffusion MRI and the challenges of implementing it in the beating heart are discussed. Cutting edge acquisition and analysis techniques, as well as the results of initial clinical studies, are reported.
