Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) perfusion imaging is a robust noninvasive technique to evaluate ischemia in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Although qualitative and semiquantitative methods have shown that CMR…
Ischemic heart disease remains the foremost determinant of death and disability across the world. Quantification of the ischemia burden is currently the preferred approach to predict event risk and to…
Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging has gained significant traction as an imaging modality of choice in the evaluation of individuals with, or at risk for, heart failure. Ventricular arrhythmias, often…
The potential role of cardiac MR imaging in the diagnosis, risk-stratification, and treatment of patients with cardiac arrhythmias is rapidly evolving. Beyond substrate identification and characterization, it is now feasible…
Despite recent advancements in newer biomarkers development and improved imaging techniques, the diagnosis of cardiac amyloidosis (CA) remains a frequent clinical challenge. In this setting, cardiac MR (CMR) imaging has…
T2* mapping techniques has evolved significantly since their introduction in the early 2000s and a significant amount of evidence has been gathered to support their clinical routine use for iron…
Cardiac MR (CMR) imaging contributes uniquely to the comprehensive assessment and management of aortic stenosis (AS), beyond the information provided by transthoracic echocardiography. The severity of AS and subsequent ventricular…
Normal bone growth of the pediatric knee as well as normal variants of ossification result in different appearances that can be identified on imaging (radiography/MR imaging). Familiarity with these changes…
MR imaging is nowadays regarded as the preferred imaging modality for evaluation of soft tissue lesions. As plain radiographs are often the first step in evaluation of musculoskeletal disorders, identification…
Imaging bone tumors often causes uncertainty, especially outside dedicated sarcoma treatment centers. Conventional radiography remains the backbone of bone tumor diagnostics, but MR imaging has a role. Radiographs are crucial…
