Overview
Magnetic resonance is a modern imaging technique that is characterized by high resolution and variable tomographic slices. The development of magnetic resonance technology in last decade led to the expansion of this method in many fields of medicine. In cardiology, the imaging is focused on the heart, aorta, pulmonary, coronary and renal arteries. Dynamic imaging is used for the evaluation of the kinetics and the function of the ventricles. Static imaging serves for the assessment of the myocardial wall in patients with cardiomyopathies and coronary artery disease. The quality of static imaging can improve paramagnetic contrast agent that increasingly accumulates in areas of acute necrosis, fibrosis or infiltration of the myocardium. Magnetic resonance can also diagnose intracardiac tumors and thrombi, valvular heart disease and pericardial disorders. Despite of wide spectrum of diagnostic applications, the clinical use of magnetic resonance imaging is reduced by limited availability and high cost of the examination.
