BASIC PRINCIPLES OF CARDIOVASCULAR MRI GEBUNDEN

This book is a comprehensive and authoritative text on the expanding scope of CMR  dedicated to
covering basic principles in detail focusing on the needs of cardiovascular imagers. The target
audience for this book includes CMR specialists  trainees in CMR and cardiovascular medicine 
cardiovascular physicists or clinical cardiovascular imagers. This book includes figures and
CMR examples in the form of high-resolution still images and is divided in two sections: basic
MRI physics  i.e. the nuts and bolts of MR imaging  and imaging techniques (pulse sequences)
used in cardiovascular MR imaging. Each imaging technique is discussed in a separate chapter
that includes the physics and clinical applications (with cardiovascular examples) of a
particular technique. Evolving techniques or research based techniques are discussed as well.
This section covers both cardiac and vascular imaging. ¿Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR)
imaging is now considered a clinically important imaging modality for patients with a wide
variety of cardiovascular diseases. Recent developments in scanner hardware  imaging sequences
and analysis software have led to 3-dimensional  high-resolution imaging of the cardiovascular
system. These developments have also influenced a wide variety of cardiovascular imaging
applications and it is now routinely used in clinical practice in CMR laboratories around the
world. The non-invasiveness and lack of ionizing radiation exposure make CMR uniquely important
for patients whose clinical condition requires serial imaging follow-up. This is particularly
true for patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) with or without surgical corrections who
require lifelong clinical and imaging follow-up.
