Zusammenfassung
During the last decade magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has emerged with credit from advances in the underlying technology, making it an inherent part of cardiac, non-invasive diagnostics. In the area of paediatric cardiology the comprehensive evaluation of 3 Tesla (3T) magnetic resonance imaging in paediatric patients with congenital or acquired heart disease is still pending. Here we demonstrate our efforts to adapt this technique to paediatric demands, with special focus on dispensability of further invasive methods subsequent to MRI. Since mid 2008 we applied MRI in approximately 1000 cases of our paediatric…
