Key result
Magnetic resonance imaging provides superior morphological and functional evaluation of congenital heart disease, particularly for thoracic aortic anomalies and central pulmonary arteries.
Why the study?
Does magnetic resonance imaging provide useful morphologic and functional evaluation in patients with congenital heart disease compared to echocardiography?
Does magnetic resonance imaging provide useful morphologic and functional evaluation in patients with congenital heart disease compared to echocardiography?
MRI is a crucial complementary imaging modality to echocardiography for the morphological and functional evaluation of congenital heart disease, especially for thoracic aortic anomalies and postoperative follow-up.

Supports MRI as crucial complement to echocardiography in congenital heart disease; reinforces consensus for thoracic aortic and pulmonary assessments.
Didier et al. (1999) conducted a review in congenital heart disease (CHD). Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) vs. echocardiography was evaluated. Magnetic resonance imaging provides superior morphological and functional evaluation of congenital heart disease, particularly for thoracic aortic anomalies and central pulmonary arteries.
