Abstract

Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (cMRI) scan is rapidly becoming an indispensable tool for the management of various disorders. This technique has the advantages of good temporal and spatial resolution and no exposure to radiation. Various ischemic and non-ischemic conditions of the heart may be diagnosed with high sensitivity and specificity. This review article aims to introduce the clinicians to the various uses of cardiac MRI and its future potential.
