Abstract
Diagnostic clinical cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) requires an appropriate combination of temporal and spatial resolution. At present, cardiovascular imaging is making considerable advances toward the fulfillment of these requirements, largely because of continued improvements in MRI hardware and software. Optimal diagnostic-quality MRI implies a balance among signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), tissue contrast, acquisition time, and spatial and temporal resolution. Magnetic field strength is one of the major factors affecting image SNR (3). The transition from 1.5T to 3T has effected in faster imaging and better signal to noise ratio. However cardiac MRI protocols on 3Thave not yet been optimized like 1.5 Tin the last decade.
This article illustrates 80 cases of cardiac MRI images on a3TMRI system (Siemens Verio 32 channel system) at Jupiter Hospital, done between Jan 2012 to August 2013. This is probably the largest study of cardiac MRI done on a 3Tin India
