Recent advances in cardiac magnetic resonance imaging hardware and software have significantly improved image quality and reduced imaging time for the quantification of ventricular function and blood flow.
Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging enables accurate and reproducible quantification of measurements of global and regional ventricular function, blood flow, perfusion at rest and stress as well as myocardial injury. Recent advances in MR hardware and software have resulted in significant improvements in image quality and a reduction in imaging time. Methods for automated and robust assessment of the parameters of cardiac function, blood flow and morphology are being developed. This article reviews the recent advances in image acquisition and quantitative image analysis in CMR.
Attili et al. (2010) conducted a review in Cardiac disease. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging was evaluated. Recent advances in cardiac magnetic resonance imaging hardware and software have significantly improved image quality and reduced imaging time for the quantification of ventricular function and blood flow.
