Role of MRI in evaluation and characterization of neoplastic and nonneoplastic cardiac masses
Background The overall frequency of cardiac tumors is quite low, with an estimated cumulative prevalence of 0.002–0.3% at autopsy, however, they represent an important group of cardiovascular abnormalities as the early and accurate diagnosis maybe ...

Noninvasive in vivo tracking of mesenchymal stem cells and evaluation of cell therapeutic effects in a murine model using a clinical 3.0 T MRI [PDF]
Cardiac cell therapy with mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) represents a promising treatment approach for endstage heart failure. However, little is known about the underlying mechanisms and the fate of the transplanted cells. The objective of the presented

Cardiac MRI for Myocardial Ischemia [PDF]
Proper assessment of the physiologic impact of coronary artery stenosis on the LV myocardium can affect patient prognosis and treatment decisions. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) assesses myocardial perfusion by imaging the myocardium during a first-pass transit of an intravenous gadolinium bolus, with spatial and temporal resolution ...

The relationship of myocardial and liver T2* values with cardiac function and laboratory findings in transfusion-dependent thalassemia major patients: A retrospective cardiac MRI study [PDF]
Introduction: Cardiac complications are the leading cause of death in thalassemia patients. It is assumed that progressive iron accumulation results in myocyte damage. Myocardial T2* measurement by cardiac MRI quantifies iron overload.

Cardiac MRI and acute myocarditis [PDF]
A 37-year-old woman presented with several hours of intermittent chest pressure at rest associated with nausea. She had no significant past medical history but reported a recent flu-like illness about 1–2 weeks prior, associated with mild fever, headache and a runny-nose.

Dobutamine stress MRI in pulmonary hypertension: relationships between stress pulmonary artery relative area change, RV performance, and 10-year survival [PDF]
In pulmonary hypertension (PH), right ventricular (RV) performance determines survival. Pulmonary artery (PA) stiffening is an important biomechanical event in PH and also predicts survival based on the PA relative area change (RAC) measured at rest ...
