Bringing the heart into focus: a perspective on non-invasive cardiac imaging.
Non-invasive cardiac imaging is already a cornerstone of cardiac diagnostics and will play an increasingly important role also in preventive and therapeutic cardiology. Several modalities can be used (echocardiography, nuclear, CT, CMR) and there is a need to study the respective role of these techniques in clinical practice and to anticipate on developments in the near future.
