Frontiers in cardiovascular magnetic resonance.
Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (MR) is emerging as a multipurpose imaging modality for the assessment of cardiovascular disease in general and ischemic heart disease in particular. Currently, the pace of innovation is rapid, and the modality is changing from one that is used primarily as a research tool to one that is increasingly used in routine clinical practice. The process of innovation ...
متن کاملMyocardial tissue tagging with cardiovascular magnetic resonance
Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is currently the gold standard for assessing both global and regional myocardial function. New tools for quantifying regional function have been recently developed to characterize early myocardial dysfunction in order to improve the identification and management of individuals at risk for heart failure. Of particular interest is CMR myocardial tagging, a ...
متن کاملFractal frontiers in cardiovascular magnetic resonance: towards clinical implementation
Many of the structures and parameters that are detected, measured and reported in cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) have at least some properties that are fractal, meaning complex and self-similar at different scales. To date however, there has been little use of fractal geometry in CMR; by comparison, many more applications of fractal analysis have been published in MR imaging of the bra...
متن کاملMapping iron in human heart tissue with synchrotron x-ray fluorescence microscopy and cardiovascular magnetic resonance
BACKGROUND MRI assessment of cardiac iron is particularly important for assessing transfusion-dependent anaemia patients. However, comparing the iron distribution from histology or bulk samples to MRI is not ideal. Non-destructive, high-resolution imaging of post-mortem samples offers the ability to examine iron distributions across large samples at resolutions closer to those used in MRI. The ...
متن کاملMapping complex tissue architecture with diffusion spectrum magnetic resonance imaging.
Methods are presented to map complex fiber architectures in tissues by imaging the 3D spectra of tissue water diffusion with MR. First, theoretical considerations show why and under what conditions diffusion contrast is positive. Using this result, spin displacement spectra that are conventionally phase-encoded can be accurately reconstructed by a Fourier transform of the measured signal's modu...
