Contrast enhanced cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging is considered to be the gold standard for assessment of coronary microvascular obstruction. Magnetic resonance imaging of the heart is obtained [..]

Magnetic resonance (MR) angiography of aortoiliac disease has the advantage that no contrast has to be administered and hence suitable in individuals with renal dysfunction. Contrast is provided [..]

Persons presenting with heart failure and no overt features of coronary artery disease like angina are often considered for a diagnostic coronary angiography to exclude an ischemic and [..]

The usual treatment of constrictive pericarditis is pericardiectomy. But constriction can also be reversible in certain instances. Feng D and associates have conducted a pilot study to assess [..]

In earlier years, magnetic resonance imaging was considered as a safe modality of imaging in those with renal failure because it did not have the potential for contrast [..]

MR angio of aortic bifurcation and lower limb arteries Magnetic resonance angiography is a non invasive technique which enables excellent visualization of the peripheral arteries. Upper most region [..]

Intra coronary thrombus is usually detected by conventional coronary angiography as a negative shadow with haziness. Direct imaging of the carotid thrombus and hemorrhage within the plaque has [..]

MR angio of anterior and posterior tibial arteries Popliteal artery terminates below the knee joint by bifurcating into anterior and posterior tibial arteries which supply the leg. Anterior [..]

Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) has the advantage that it is less operator dependent than echocardiography regarding the acquisition of images. But when it comes to interpretation, experience [..]
