MRI Quantification of Cardiac Structure and Function in Cardiomyopathy Patients
摘要
Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging (CMRI) is a quantitative technique that enables non-invasive assessment of heart structure and contractile function as well as the mechanisms underlying cardiovascular disease. Here we provide step-by-step instructions and imaging protocols for conducting cardiac MRI exam on the patients with cardiomyopathies. Our imaging protocols are specific to the 3 Tesla magnetic field strength.
