Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the HeartNCIt concept
Preferred Label : Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the Heart;
NCIt synonyms : Heart MRI;
NCIt related terms : Cardiac MRI;
NCIt definition : Magnetic resonance imaging of the heart.;
Alternative definition : ACC/AHA: A noninvasive medical imaging technology using magnetic field and radio waves
to evaluate the heart's anatomy and function for detection and monitoring of cardiac
diseases.; ACC/AHA: Medical imaging with MRI technology for noninvasive assessment of the function
and structure of the cardiovascular system using ECG gating and high temporal resolution
protocols with an intent to assess myocarditis, cardiac function, and structures during
or after COVID-19.; ACC/AHA: Imaging that uses radiofrequency waves and a strong field rather than x-rays
to provide amazingly clear and detailed pictures of cardiac structures. The technique
is valuable for the diagnosis of many cardiovascular pathological conditions, including
myocarditis, wall motion abnormalities, structural cardiac abnormalities, infiltrative
diseases, intracardiac thrombus, and pericardial disease.;
