Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is becoming an important tool in diagnosing cardiovascular disease. Many technical advances have contributed to the improved capability of MR imaging in this arena. In this article, we review the technical concepts and recent advances for a variety of cardiovascular applications, including evaluation of congenital heart and great vessel disease, global cardiac function using cine acquisitions and automated ventricular volume segmentation, valvular heart disease, myocardial wall motion detection with magnetization tagging, two-dimensional and three-dimensional coronary artery imaging, and myocardial perfusion. Sequence diagrams are shown and important technical issues are discussed. Example images are shown to demonstrate the current status of research and future potential. Most results shown here are high-resolution scans acquired with new gradient coil systems, including coronary artery imaging using an in-plane resolution of 350 microns x 600 microns. This review serves as an introduction to the discussion of various clinical applications of cardiovascular MR imaging provided in this issue.
磁共振（MR）成像正成为诊断心血管疾病的一项重要工具。许多技术进步促成了MR成像在这一领域能力的提升。在本文中，我们回顾了多种心血管应用的技术概念和最新进展，包括先天性心脏和大血管疾病的评估、使用电影采集和自动心室容积分割评估整体心脏功能、瓣膜性心脏病、利用磁化标记检测心肌壁运动、二维和三维冠状动脉成像以及心肌灌注。文中展示了序列图并讨论了重要的技术问题。给出了示例图像以展示研究现状和未来潜力。此处展示的大多数结果是使用新型梯度线圈系统获得的高分辨率扫描图像，包括采用350微米×600微米平面分辨率的冠状动脉成像。这篇综述作为本期关于心血管MR成像各种临床应用讨论的引言。
