Magnetic resonance imaging in the study of ischemic heart disease.
In ischemic heart disease, as compared to other procedures, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) offers the advantage of providing in a single diagnostic session an ample and reliable multiparametric analysis. The technological advances of recent years have been increasing exponentially and marked qualitative refinements are thus predictable in the near future for morphological, functional, perfusional and metabolic studies.
