Cardiovascular applications
Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging is the gold standard for evaluating myocardial function, volumes, and scar. CMR is unique in its ability to provide tissue characterization for differential diagnosis of myocardial disease. Recent guidelines also include indications for CMR in congenital heart disease, heart failure, and coronary artery disease (CAD).3
