title: Imaging cardiac structure and pump function.
abstract: This article describes magnetic resonance imaging approaches for assessing cardiac structure and myocardial pump function. The article is divided into cardiac structure and ventricular function. Throughout, representative images are included. There are numerous applications of magnetic resonance imaging for assessing cardiac structure and function, and magnetic resonance imaging compared favorably to other imaging modalities.
