Abstract
Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (C-MRI) has been progressed in hardware and software techniques past two decades. Clinical application has been done in diagnosis of cardiovascular morphology, function, ischemia and infarction with recent improvement. Cine MRI using steady-state free precession (SSFP) sequence has clear the contrast between the cardiac lumen and the muscle. At 3.0T magnets, multi-phasic 3D contrast-enhanced angiography with breath-holding has established to get continuously. This article discusses the current state of 3D contrast-enhanced angiography, cine MRI by using SSFP, phase contrast, cardiac perfusion and late enhancement in clinical practice.
