Contrast ‑ in cardiac magnetic resonance imaging [PDF]
The utility and role of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) as a non‐invasive diagnostic imaging modality has been well recognized in the field of cardiovascular disease. Use of late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) has further enhanced CMR's ability to determine structural, functional, and prognostic information in various cardiovascular diseases.
