Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR) is a speedily evolving imaging expertise and is now more and more used in sufferer care. Its merits are noninvasiveness, terrific photograph resolutions, and physique tissue characterization. CMR is now an important a part of either cardiology and radiology education and has develop into a part of the exam for Board certification. This booklet presents a condensed yet entire and reader pleasant academic software for cardiology fellows and radiology citizens. It includes a number of selection questions just like board examinations with concise remark and clarification in regards to the right answer.

Assessment of coronary atherosclerosis Correct answer is E. CMR has been validated in phantom, experimental animal, and human studies as the most accurate technique to measure left and right ventricular volumes and ejection fraction [6, 7, 9, 18]. CMR can also visualize the origin and proximal course of the coronary arteries and is better than (or at least equivalent to) conventional contrast X-ray angiography for assessment of coronary anomalies [19, 20].
