Background: Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) provides excellent temporal and spatial
resolution, tissue characterization, and flow measurements. This enables major advantages …

Transcatheter cardiovascular interventions increasingly rely on advanced imaging. X-ray
fluoroscopy provides excellent visualization of catheters and devices, but poor visualization …

Background Today's standard of care, in the congenital heart disease (CHD) population,
involves performing cardiac catheterization under x-ray fluoroscopy and cardiac magnetic …

Background Children with heart disease may require repeated X-Ray cardiac
catheterization procedures, are more radiosensitive, and more likely to survive to experience …

Abstract Purpose of Review Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging provides radiation-free, 3-
dimensional soft tissue visualization with adjunct hemodynamic data, making it a promising …

The Fontan circulation is a palliative concept for patients with univentricular hearts. The
central veins are connected directly to the pulmonary arteries (cavo-pulmonary connection) …

Background Improvements in outcomes for patients with congenital heart disease (CHD)
have increased the need for diagnostic and interventional procedures. Cumulative radiation …

Background Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) fluoroscopy allows for
simultaneous measurement of cardiac function, flow and chamber pressure during …

In recent years, interventional cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (iCMR) has evolved
from attractive theory to clinical routine at several centers. Real-time cardiac magnetic …

Diagnostic and interventional cardiac catheterization is routinely used in the diagnosis and
treatment of congenital heart disease. There are well-established concerns regarding the …
