Imaging plays an important part in cardiology, and MR imaging (MRI) is one of many methods used in the diagnosis of cardiac disease.
Based on the literature and own experience, an overview is given of the current potential of MRI in cardiology.
MRI represents the most comprehensive diagnostic modality in cardiac imaging. Non-invasively and without the use of ionizing radiation, MRI may depict the anatomy in freely selectable planes, visualise and quantify cardiac pump function and valvular function, and provide detailed information on myocardial contractility, perfusion, and viability. MRI may give valuable, sometimes unique contributions in both congenital and acquired heart disease.
Restricted availability and experience have slowed the spread of cardiac MRI, but the method is expected to play a major role in the diagnosis of cardiac disease.
影像学在心脏病学中起着重要作用，磁共振成像（MRI）是用于诊断心脏病的众多方法之一。
基于文献和自身经验，对MRI目前在心脏病学中的潜力进行综述。
MRI是心脏成像中最全面的诊断方式。无需使用电离辐射且无创，MRI可以在任意选定平面显示解剖结构，可视化并量化心脏泵功能和瓣膜功能，并提供有关心肌收缩性、灌注和存活性的详细信息。MRI在先天性和后天性心脏病的诊断中都可能做出有价值的、有时甚至是独特的贡献。
设备可用性受限和经验不足减缓了心脏MRI的推广，但该方法有望在心脏病诊断中发挥重要作用。
