Comprehensive review of artifacts in cardiac MRI and their mitigation
摘要
Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) is an important clinical tool that obtains high-quality images for assessment of cardiac morphology, function, and tissue characteristics. However, the technique may be prone to artifacts that may limit the diagnostic interpretation of images. This article reviews common artifacts which may appear in CMR exams by describing their appearance, the challenges they mitigate true pathology, and offering possible solutions to reduce their impact. Additionally, this article acts as an update to previous CMR artifacts reports by including discussion about new CMR innovations.
