Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging is a comprehensive tool for assessing cardiac morphology, function, and viability, though it is currently limited by its ability to depict detailed coronary artery anatomy.
This paper provides a pictorial review of cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging techniques, outlining their strengths and limitations.
CMR supports non-coronary cardiac assessment in practice; leaves open need for complementary coronary imaging in research.
Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) is a powerful problem-solving tool and arguably offers the most comprehensive assessment of cardiac morphology and function, as well as the opportunity of rebuilding the bridge between cardiologists and radiologists. The role of CMR-trained imaging physicists is also valuable, and many CMR centres harmoniously incorporate these three sub-specialty fields. This paper comprises an overview of several CMR techniques, outlining both the strengths and limitations of the modality.

Dahya et al. (2010) conducted a review in Cardiovascular disease. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) was evaluated. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging is a comprehensive tool for assessing cardiac morphology, function, and viability, though it is currently limited by its ability to depict detailed coronary artery anatomy.
