The most advanced 1.5 Tesla MRI scanner and software provide sophisticated
images of the heart. Cardiac MRI, with or without contrast, offers unprecedented
clarity of cardiac structure and accurate assessment of cardiac function.
With its 3-dimensional scanning nature, it is the most accurate tool
for the evaluation of LV and RV function. Cardiac MRI allows reliable
pre-operative evaluation of myocardial viability to determine benefit
of bypass surgery or revascularization in patients with severe ischemic
LV dysfunction or ischemic cardiomyopathy. Precise evaluation of LV
shape and corresponding structure and functional segments by cine and
contrast MRI is vital for successful ventricular reduction surgery.
