Cardiac MRI
Examination ordered to exclude arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia. Normal left and right ventricular morphology and function are noted.
Coronal subsecond T2-weighted single-shot fast spin echo localizer, used to prescribe the acquisition of ventricular long axis images.
Long axis blood-suppressed image at the level of the right ventricular outflow tract, acquired during suspended respiration.
Long axis blood-suppressed image at the level of the mitral and tricuspic valves, used to presecribe the short axis acquisition.
Short axis blood-suppressed image at the distal ventricles.
 
Short axis blood-suppressed image at the mid ventricles.
Short axis blood-suppressed image at the basce of the ventricles, used to presecribe acquisition of short axis cine images..
Long axis cine images at the inferior and mid ventricles. 16 images throughout the cardiac cycle are acquired during suspended respiration.
 
Long axis cine image, at the level of the mitral and tricuspid valves.
Short axis cine images, from near the apex to the base of the ventricles.

MRI can provide a more comprehensive cardiac examination in a single test than any other imaging method.
