Eyes do not see what the mind does not know (Anonymous). Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) has been increasingly incorporated into clinical practice as a noninvasive method that offers superior structural…

For decades, cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) and positron emission tomography (PET) have been clinically established imaging modalities in cardiovascular medicine. For several years, a new multimodality imaging system, PET/magnetic…

Pathologies involving the pulmonary arterial system include pulmonary embolus (PE), pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), congenital anomalies, and pulmonary artery tumors. These diseases present a unique clinical diagnostic challenge often requiring…

Explosive growth in medical imaging technology during the past few decades has provided physicians with an unparalleled ability to diagnose abnormalities of the cardiovascular system. However, in some cases, scientific…

The last two and a half decades have seen phenomenal advances made in the field of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR), and these advances have supported research into interventional applications using…

The role of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) in the evaluation of infants and children with congenital heart disease is now widely accepted as a result of ongoing technologic advances and…

An ideal imaging guidance system for cardiovascular, catheter-based interventional procedures would offer real-time, high-resolution, three-dimensional (3D) imaging of important anatomic tissues and chambers, irrespective of respiratory, cardiac, or patient motion…

The number of adults with congenital heart disease living in the United States is estimated to be at least 1.4 million, and at least 300,000 of these people have complex…
