MRI clinical applications

  • Cardiac MRI

  • Appropriate manipulation of the imaging gradients allows MR images to be collected in any plane.
  • This is particularly advantageous for imaging organs that are not neatly aligned with the standard anatomical planes, such as the heart.
  • MRI is particularly useful for imaging abnormal cardiac anatomy in patients with congenital heart disease.
  • The excellent contrast between the myocardium and blood pool allows patient-specific models to be computer generated for surgical planning.
