Resumen
HERNANDEZ, C. et al. Basic principles of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR): sequences, acquisition planes and study protocol. Anales Sis San Navarra [online]. 2007, vol.30, n.3, pp.405-418. ISSN 1137-6627.
Evaluation of the cardiovascular system with magnetic resonance (CMR) has become one of the most relevant and up-to-the-minute clinical applications of this diagnostic technique, as CMR makes possible an exact and reproducible study of the anatomy and function of the heart and great vessels. The complexity of this technique is mainly due to the anatomical location and orientation of the cardiovascular structures, the specific CMR sequences that have to be used and a lack of familiarity amongst radiologists regarding cardiovascular pathology. In this report the most basic principles of CMR are described. The clinical usefulness of anatomical, functional, and flow quantification sequences are discussed, conventional CMR acquisition planes are described, and an easy CMR study protocol is proposed.
