title: Cardiac MR imaging: new advances and role of 3T.
abstract: Over the last decade, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging has increasingly evolved into a useful diagnostic tool among the radiology and cardiology communities. Ongoing improvements in MR imaging hardware, processing speed, and pulse sequence development have laid the foundation for rapid progress in cardiac MR imaging. This article summarizes developing techniques and technique-related aspects, and the advantages and possible pitfalls of 3T in particular.
