Cardiac MR imaging in congenital heart disease

Abstract:
Magnetic resonance imaging is a unique and insightful tool for the assessment of structure and function in congenital heart disease. For anatomic assessment, the large field of view, lack of limitation by patient size, and ability to create three-dimensional surface displays from routine imaging acquisitions offer several advantages over other modalities. The ability of magnetic resonance imaging to assess the volume and mass of bizarre ventricular shapes accurately and myocardial tissue and blood tagging as well as phase encoded velocity mapping has enhanced research in pediatric cardiology. Newer techniques, such as oxygen-sensitive magnetic resonance imaging and echo-planar magnetic resonance imaging, promise even further advances in research and in clinical applications.

Transthoracic Echocardiography (TTE)
TTE is the most common type of echocardiogram which involves placing a transducer on the patient's chest, emitting sound waves to create heart images. TTE is invaluable for evaluating the heart's size, structure, and motion, making it particularly useful for diagnosing...

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...
