Spin echo and cine MR imaging provides reliable and reproducible quantitative information about the hearts of patients with cardiomyopathy. In particular, these techniques are useful in demonstrating the severity and distribution of left and right ventricular myocardial thickness, changes in myocardial thickness during ventricular contraction, ventricular chamber volume, and change in volume through the cardiac cycle. Furthermore, direct examination of the ventricular myocardium by spin echo MR imaging is beginning to demonstrate its utility in characterizing abnormal myocardium and in providing inferential information concerning the nature of the myocardial abnormality itself. MR examination is also useful in excluding other causes of myocardial dysfunction that mimic cardiomyopathy as well as in helping define the type of cardiomyopathy, both of which allow better clinical management of these patients.
自旋回波和电影磁共振成像可为心肌病患者的心脏提供可靠且可重复的定量信息。特别是，这些技术有助于显示左、右心室心肌厚度的严重程度和分布、心室收缩期间心肌厚度的变化、心室腔容积以及心动周期中容积的变化。此外，通过自旋回波磁共振成像直接检查心室心肌，开始显示出其在鉴别异常心肌以及提供有关心肌异常本质的推断性信息方面的效用。磁共振检查在排除其他类似心肌病的心肌功能障碍病因以及帮助确定心肌病类型方面也很有用，这两者都有助于对这些患者进行更好的临床管理。
