Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging (CMRI) is a quantitative technique that enables non-invasive assessment of heart structure and contractile function as well as the mechanisms underlying cardiovascular disease. Here we provide step-by-step instructions and imaging protocols for conducting cardiac MRI exam on the patients with cardiomyopathies. Our imaging protocols are specific to the 3 Tesla magnetic field strength.

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...
