Cardiovascular MR function and coronaries: CMR 15 minute express

Background CMR imaging has become a recognized gold-standard diagnostic technique for evaluating cardiovascular function, but has limited success in developing coronary imaging as a screening tool. With the faster image acquisition and reconstruction schemes, CMR can now be utilized as a non-invasive and robust screening modality of cardiovascular function and coronary disease in only 15 minutes of scanning. The 15 Minute Express Screening will enable further CMR imaging while maintaining a reasonable study length. To develop a high image-quality, repeatable, robust, and rapid clinical CMR diagnostic screening workflow, shorter than 15min, for cardiovascular function and coronary arteries.
