title: Assessment of cardiac function with MR imaging.
abstract: A variety of black or white blood imaging techniques are available for assessing global and regional LV and RV function during cardiovascular MR imaging examinations. In addition to providing information about LV function at rest, these techniques provide diagnostic and prognostic information regarding myocardial ischemia and viability during MR imaging stress tests.
