Summary
Introduction
Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging is routinely used for the diagnosis and management of patients with ischemic and nonischemic heart disease because it can provide a comprehensive, noninvasive evaluation of cardiac morphology, function, perfusion, and viability [1]. In fact, CMR is widely considered the clinical gold standard for assessing right and left ventricular function using balanced steady-state free precession (bSSFP) [2] and determining myocardial viability in patients with ischemic heart disease using inversion recovery (IR) prepared spoiled gradient echo [3]. Technical advances that have improved the spatial and/or temporal resolution of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging have led to improvements in the ability of this modality to visualize pathologic changes in the heart. This has led to an increase in the use of 3T MR imaging scanners for CMR studies.
