[Indications for cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging].
Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) has moved from a tool mainly used for congenital heart disease, large vessels, pericardium and tumors to a flexible, highly accurate and rapid method with a broad range of indications. New applications are especially found in patients with ischemic heart disease, ranging from dobutamine stress and adenosine perfusion to scar imaging, viability testing and-increasingly-visualization of the coronary arteries themselves.
