Cardiac MR imaging genotoxicity?
Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, including cardiac MR (CMR), is an important, widely used diagnostic tool, and is generally considered a safer alternative to X-ray and radioisotope imaging where there is a clear relationship between exposure to ionizing radiation and increased cancer risk. MR imaging exposes the patient to a mixture of static magnetic fields, time-varying gradient fields, and p...
متن کاملPerforming cardiac MR imaging: an overview.
Because of the enormous economic and social impact of cardiovascular disease in the United States, there is a need for improved noninvasive diagnosis. Cardiac MR imaging is a versatile, comprehensive technique for assessing cardiac morphology and function. With an understanding of cardiac anatomy and physiology as well as MR physical principles, cardiac MR imaging can be performed and play an i...

متن کاملRole of Cardiac MR Imaging in Cardiomyopathies.
Cardiac MR imaging has made major inroads in the new millennium in the diagnosis and assessment of prognosis for patients with cardiomyopathies. Imaging of left and right ventricular structure and function and tissue characterization with late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) as well as T1 and T2 mapping enable accurate diagnosis of the underlying etiology. In the setting of coronary artery disease...
متن کاملIntra-cardiac MR imaging & MR-tracking catheter for improved MR-guided EP
Background Electrophysiology (EP) studies can diagnose & treat patients with arrhythmia. MR-guided EP is growing, driven by the ability of cardiac MRI to provide high-contrast images. For intra-procedural use, MRI provides images of the acute state of radio-frequency ablation (RFA) lesions, e.g. necrosis, edema and hemorrhage, that potentially reduce recurrences & complications [1,2]. Unfortuna...
