Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for the diagnosis and management of many cardiac diseases has been established in clinical practice. It provides anatomic and functional information and is the most precise technique for quantification of ventricular volume, function and mass. Among cardiac MRI sequences used in clinical practice, delayed contrast enhancement is an accurate and reliable method used in the diagnosis of ischemic and nonischemic cardiomyopathies. In addition, new technology applied in echocardiographic imaging has permitted quantification of myocardial deformations with 2-dimensional strain imaging (longitudinal, circumferential and radial strain). Cardiac MRI and echocardiography therefore both play a crucial role in the diagnosis and management of cardiovascular disease. Dr. Di Bella and colleagues have defined the roles of cardiac MRI and echocardiography in many clinical and experimental settings.
心脏磁共振成像（MRI）用于多种心脏疾病的诊断和管理已在临床实践中确立。它提供解剖和功能信息，是定量心室容积、功能和质量最精确的技术。在临床实践中使用的心脏MRI序列中，延迟对比增强是用于诊断缺血性和非缺血性心肌病的准确可靠方法。此外，应用于超声心动图成像的新技术已能通过二维应变成像（纵向、圆周和径向应变）对心肌变形进行定量。因此，心脏MRI和超声心动图在心血管疾病的诊断和管理中都起着至关重要的作用。迪贝拉博士及其同事已经明确了心脏MRI和超声心动图在许多临床和实验环境中的作用。
