Cardiovascular magnetic resonance phase contrast imaging

J Cardiovasc Magn Reson. 2015 Aug 9;17(1):71. doi: 10.1186/s12968-015-0172-7.

Abstract

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) phase contrast imaging has undergone a wide range of changes with the development and availability of improved calibration procedures, visualization tools, and analysis methods. This article provides a comprehensive review of the current state-of-the-art in CMR phase contrast imaging methodology, clinical applications including summaries of past clinical performance, and emerging research and clinical applications that utilize today's latest technology.
