Key result
Magnetic resonance imaging provides important diagnostic information for the morphologic evaluation of congenital heart disease and can replace angiography in specific clinical scenarios.

May support selective MRI use to avoid angiography in congenital heart disease; leaves open prospective validation.
Does MR imaging improve the morphologic diagnosis of congenital heart disease compared to angiography?
MR imaging is a valuable, non-invasive modality for the morphologic diagnosis of various congenital heart diseases, often replacing the need for angiography.
Choe et al. (1997) conducted a review in Congenital heart disease. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging vs. Angiography was evaluated. Magnetic resonance imaging provides important diagnostic information for the morphologic evaluation of congenital heart disease and can replace angiography in specific clinical scenarios.
