Herz-MR: Innovationen und Visionen

Cardiovascular MRI is an emerging non-invasive imaging technique that has matured in the past decade. Assessment of cardiac morphology, left ventricular function, infarct size and oedema have become the pre requisite of a cardiac MR examination. With the advent of fast imaging techniques such as kt-blast, kt-SENSE or compressed sensing, myocardial perfusion MRI is increasingly gaining attention again. Coronary artery imaging remains challenging but with continued development of higher field MR systems, multi receiver and send coil technology, smarter motion compensation approaches and contrast agent chemistry co…
