Definition
Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging uses a powerful magnetic field, radio waves and a computer to produce images of the heart and structures around it. These high-resolution images are acquired non-invasively and without radiation. Detailed, moving images of the heart, its valves and blood vessels are used to evaluate the anatomy and the function of these structures. Cardiac MRI is used to detect or monitor different cardiac conditions.
