Abstract: Most recent technical innovations in cardiovascular MR imaging (CMRI) are presented in this review.
They include hardware and software developments, and novelties in parametric mapping. All these recent improvements
lead to high spatial and temporal resolution and quantitative information on the heart structure and
function. They make it achievable ambitious goals in the field of magnetic resonance, such as the early detection of
cardiovascular pathologies.
In this review article, we present recent innovations in CMRI, emphasizing the progresses performed and the solutions
proposed to some yet opened technical problems.
