Cardiac MRI is a hot topic with prospects of continuing to grow. Review of the state-of-the-art reconstruction techniques for dynamic cardiac MRI. Introduction Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has undeniably involved a revolution in medicine [1]. MRI is simultaneously a well-established and evolvi...
The American College of Radiology's Expert Panel on Cardiac Imaging (Hoffman et al, 2011) rendered a "2' rating for MRI of heart with or without stress without contrast; and a "3" rating for MRI of heart with or without stress without and with contrast for evaluation of patients with ac...
- The different sequences used in cardiac MRI imaging and the physics behind these sequences. - How to acquire the cardiac imaging planes. - How to assess the ventricular function, late gadolinium enhancement and T2* for iron overload. ...

Unlike ultrasound (US) imaging, foetal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is not significantly limited by maternal obesity, oligohydramnios, uterine myoma, twins, and foetal lie, which impair US visualization of the foetus. The present study aimed to intro
The vevo2100 ultrasound with the 50MHz transducer (Ultrasonix Medical Corporation, Richmond, British Columbia, Canada) was used to scan the embryonic heart at 30–40 imaging planes spaced 0.05 mm apart, using a micro-translation stage to adjust imaging location. Since the images did not have a...
While the sensitivity is known to be limited due to technical factors making imaging of the thin right ventricular myocardium challenging, the presence of transmural LGE in at least one region of the right ventricle, confirmed in at least two orthogonal imaging planes, is a major structural ...
Table 2 Representative compact conventional pediatric congenital cardiac MRI protocol Full size table As a starting point, in the author’s practice one typically obtains cine imaging, usually bSSFP, in dedicated right ventricular (RV) planes in addition to the previously discussed LV planes (Fig.10...
Purpose: To design a method suitable for obtaining tissue samples from regions of different function as ascertained by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Materials and Methods: In vivo MRI was used...
