MRI for physiology and function: technical advances in MRI of congenital heart disease.
Cardiovascular MRI is an active area of research, and the techniques and application are continuing to evolve. We have presented the basic categories of MRI techniques used to image the heart and have shown some examples of advanced techniques applied to the evaluation of congenital heart disease. The reader is referred to other articles for examples of these techniques in clinical practice.
