Assessment of ventricular function with cardiovascular magnetic resonance.
The high spatial and temporal resolution of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) images makes it well-suited for use in the assessment of right ventricular and left ventricular function in patients who have cardiovascular disorders. This article reviews CMR methods used to assess regional and global ventricular function.
