ABSTRACT

In general there is a lack of knowledge among the medical community about the advantages of the use of cardiac magnetic resonance in specific clinical settings. This article focuses on explanation of general cardiovascular imaging employing a conventional MRI system. Emphasis is made on image plane, pulse sequences, electrocardiographic gaiting and employed protocols.
The studies of 14 patient were use to illustrate the CMRI applications, all performed using a standard protocol, and blind read by a radiologist. Findings were compared against the final diagnosis on clinical record.
CVMRI is an accurate and safe alternative for the morphologic and functional evaluation of the heart and the great vessels. Its use should increase in medical institutions with this resource.
