Abstract:
MRI has achieved many technical advances in the spatial resolution, temporal resolution, contrast resolution, signal-to-noise ratio, and postprocessing technique. At one session of examination within a tolerable time, MRI can provide integrated information on coronary artery stenosis, systolic dysfunction, myocardial perfusion, and myocardial viability. Delayed enhancement study after contrast administration is highly reproducible and offers unique vision for myocardial viability in the patients with myocardial infarction. Cardiac MRI is very cost-effective and may be one-stop solution for the evaluation of ischemic heart disease.
