Recent Advance of Cardiac MR Imaging

Recent advance of MR imaging makes the acquisition time shorter. Therefore, the data acquisition can be performed with the subject holding his breath. It gives the great benefit to cardiac MR imaging. However, signal to noise ratio and temporal resolution are not sufficient in some divisions of cardiac MR imaging. Improving them lead to extension of the indication of cardiac MR imaging. The development of new technique such as EPI also makes the indication of cardiac MR imaging extend
