title: Cardiac magnetic resonance and its anatomical planes: how do I do it?
abstract: Due to the increasing use of the cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) method and the frequent implementation of such method in new services, we describe herein, in a step-by-step format, the acquisition techniques that are necessary for a complete cardiac approach, of the main anatomical planes of the heart used by CMR.
