Cardiovascular MR imaging of children.
The role of MR imaging in the evaluation of congenital heart lesions is described. Emphasis is placed on those indications where MR imaging complements other imaging modalities, i.e., evaluation of the great vessels. Advantages and disadvantages of different MR imaging techniques (i.e., spin echo, segmented k-space acquisition, and gadolinium-enhanced angiography) are illustrated.
