Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) methods are positioned to make a major impact in the care of patients with ischemic heart disease. Further advances are to be expected in the area of myocardial perfusion imaging and noninvasive MRI coronary “angiography.” Work also continues in determining quantitative flow via MRI. Although expensive, the unique ability of MRi methods to provide multiple pieces of information in a single examination may make this technology cost effective. The concept of a “one-stop shop” is progressing steadily toward a clinical reality.
