The Role of Cardiac MRI in Clinical Practice – MM1705
Cardiac MRI (CMR) provides high-resolution dynamic imaging of the beating heart and is the reference standard for assessing ventricular systolic function. CMR is the only imaging modality that can identify myocardial fibrosis and inflammation, which aids in diagnosis and prognostication for patients with cardiomyopathy. CMR is widely used for the assessment of aortic and congenital heart disease, where anatomical imaging and quantification of blood flow help guide potential interventions.
