Clinical safety of cardiovascular magnetic resonance: cardiovascular devices and contrast agents.
نویسندگان
چکیده
(CMR) is an increasingly attractive imaging modality for the evaluation of patients with cardiovascular disease. It displays important inherent safety advantages: namely its noninvasive nature and the absence of exposure to ionizing radiation, or potentially nephrotoxic iodinated contrast agents. However, there are several potential hazards associated with magnetic resonance (MR) scanning of specific cardiovascular devices and implants and the utilization of gadolinium-based MR contrast agents. In light of the growing number of both MR examinations and implantable cardiac devices in routine clinical practice worldwide, the aim of this review is to familiarize the contemporary cardiologist with some important clinical issues regarding the safety of CMR.

متن کاملBlood Flow Simulation in an Aorta with a mild coarctation Using Magnetic Resonance Angiography and Finite Volume Method
Coarctation of the aorta is one of the five main congenital cardiovascular failures, accounting for 6–8 percent of these failures. This research aimed to simulate the blood flow of a seventeen-year-old male teen with a mild coarctation at one-third of his aorta's descending branch. The simulation was performed by extracting the domain and the input pulsatile velocity signal as the boundary cond...
