Foreword by Valentin Fuster, MD, PhD Vi
1Basic concepts of magnetic resonance imaging 1
General introduction to the scientific concepts behind
nuclear magnetic resonance, and how this is used in MRI;
brief descriptions of the types of MRI, e.g. spin-echo
imaging, gradient-echo imaging; all with particular reference
to cardiovascular imaging. Many commonly-used terms are
defined in this chapter.
2The normal heart 21
How images are obtained in healthy hearts; imaging planes;
measuring ventricular mass & volume,
3Aortic disease 27
Advantages of MRI for imaging aortic disease over, for
example, transoesophageal echocardiography; aortic
aneurysm; aortic dissection; Marfan's syndrome; aortitis.
4Ischaemic heart disease 37
Use of MRI to assess ventricular function after myocardial
infarction; use of contrast agent, e.g. gadolinium-DTPA, to
enhance signal intensity of infarcted areas; assessment of
reduced ventricular compliance; atrial volume; stress MRI
using dipyridamole or dobutamine; coronary artery imaging;
myocardial perfusion imaging.
5Tumours and thrombus 52
MRI for imaging tumours of the heart & surrounding
structures, and thrombus.
6The pericardium 56
Diagnosis of constrictive and effusive pericardial disease by
MRI; pericardial cyst.
7Valvular disease 61
Visualization of normal cardiac valves by MRI; imaging
vascular stenosis, including detection of turbulence and jet
velocity mapping; assessment of valvular regurgitation; MRI
of prosthetic cardiac valves.
Cardiomyopathy 71
Morphological features of the cardiomyopathies, as seen by
MRI - topics include hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, dilated
cardiomyopathy, and restrictive cardiomyopathy (including
causative pathological factors, e.g. cardiac sarcoidosis &
amyloidosis, myocardial iron overload, endomyocardial
fibrosis, arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy,
myocarditis).
9Congenital heart disease 77
Intra- and extra-cardiac shunt; transposition of arteries;
obstruction of surgical conduits; complex congenital heart
disease; pulmonary and systemic veins; congenital aortic
abnormalities, including coarctation and anomalous aortic
arch.
10Magnetic resonance angiography 85
Overview of MRA, including time-of-flight, phase-contrast,
and contrast-enhanced MRA.
11Blood flow measurement and visualization 94
Clinical value of flow measurement by MRI, including
comparisons with Doppler echocardiography.
12Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) 97
Introduction to and applications of MRS.
