A significant recent advance that has occurred world over in the continuously evolving field of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) practice is the introduction of Cardiac applications. Cardiac MRI has moved to the centre stage of clinical management strategy by non-invasively imaging the structure as well as function of the heart. It has a wide range of specific applications such as delineation of morphological anatomy, quantification of flow and pressure across cardiac valve dysfunction, evaluation of myocardial function, assessment of infarcts, mapping coronary arteries and so on. Evaluation of congenital heart disease (CHD) is an important application of Cardiac MRI since the morphological details of chambers, septum, defects and anomalous connections are depicted accurately. Besides, flow information across valves, chambers, outflow tracts and shunts are also provided. This article describes our experience in the use of cardiac MRI in congenital heart disease.
在不断发展的磁共振成像(MRI)实践领域,近期一项重大进展是心脏应用的引入,这在全球范围内都有发生。心脏MRI通过对心脏结构和功能进行无创成像,已成为临床管理策略的核心。它有广泛的特定应用,如描绘形态解剖结构、量化心脏瓣膜功能不全时的血流和压力、评估心肌功能、评估梗死灶、绘制冠状动脉等。先天性心脏病(CHD)的评估是心脏MRI的一项重要应用,因为心脏各腔室、间隔、缺损和异常连接的形态细节能被准确描绘。此外,还能提供瓣膜、腔室、流出道和分流处的血流信息。本文描述了我们在先天性心脏病中使用心脏MRI的经验。
