The traditional role of non-invasive imaging has been to define gross anatomy and
physiology at the level of the whole organ. In the last few years, however, technological …

Objectives: We sought to determine whether noninvasive planimetry of the mitral valve area
(MVA) by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is feasible and reliable in patients with mitral …

Rapid and unsupervised quantitative analysis is of utmost importance to ensure clinical
acceptance of many examinations using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We …

Catheter-based diagnostic contrast angiography of the aorta has largely been replaced in
clinical practice by its noninvasive counterparts, namely, CT angiography and MR …

Purpose To compare in vivo real‐time Fourier velocity encoding (FVE), spectral‐Doppler
ultrasound, and phase‐contrast (PC) magnetic‐resonance (MR) imaging. Materials and …

Transmembrane voltage-sensitive fluorescent dyes are used to study electrical activity in
hearts. Green and red fluorescence emissions from di-4-ANEPPS excited with 488 nm light …

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been used to evaluate the cardiovascular system for
almost 2 decades. Although vascular applications have been robust and steadily improving …

The past two decades have witnessed a phenomenal expansion in diagnostic technologies
for patients with cardiovascular disease. New stress imaging protocols have improved the …

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was used to non-invasively measure arterial blood-flow
rate (ABFR) accurately and rapidly. First, the basic principles of MRI, especially related to …
