Abstract

Recent technical innovation enables faster and more reliable cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging than before. Artificial intelligence is used in improving image resolution, fast scanning, and automated analysis of CMR. Fast CMR techniques such as compressed sensing technique enable fast cine, perfusion, and late gadolinium-enhanced imaging and improve patient throughput and widening CMR indications. CMR feature-tracking technique gives insight on diastolic function parameters of ventricles and atria with prognostic implications. Myocardial parametric map** became to be included in the routine CMR protocol. CMR fingerprinting enables simultaneous quantification of myocardial T1 and T2. These parameters may give information on myocardial alteration in the preclinical stages in various myocardial diseases. Four-dimensional flow imaging shows hemodynamic characteristics in or through the cardiovascular structures visually and gives quantitative values of vortex, kinetic energy, and wall-shear stress. In conclusion, CMR is an essential modality in the diagnosis of various cardiovascular diseases, especially myocardial diseases. Recent progress in CMR techniques promotes more widespread use of CMR in clinical practice. This review summarizes recent updates in CMR technologies and clinical research.
