Table 2 Demonstrates purpose of CMRI exam modules in IHD patients.
From: The recent advances, drawbacks, and the future directions of CMRI in the diagnosis of IHD
No | CMRI exam modules in IHD patients | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
1 | Cine imaging | Assess cardiac wall motion |
2 | Perfusion imaging | Evaluate myocardial perfusion (ischemia) |
3 | Late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) imaging | Evaluate myocardial viability |
4 | Flow imaging | Measure flow velocity and volume |
5 | Morphology imaging | Delineate anatomic structures |
6 | Tissue characterization T1 mapping | Evaluate the absolute T1 value of the myocardium |
7 | Tissue characterization T2 mapping | Evaluate the absolute T2 value of the myocardium |
8 | Tissue characterization T2* mapping | Evaluate the absolute T2* value of the myocardium and assess cardiac iron deposition in diseases such as thalassemia major |
9 | Coronary angiography | Evaluate coronary artery disease |
