INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Pharmacoinvasive strategy represents an attractive alternative to primary angioplasty. Using cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging we compared the left ventricular outcome of the pharmacoinvasive strategy and primary angioplasty for the reperfusion of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. METHODS Cardiovascular magnetic resonance was performed 1 week and ...

background: so far, non-invasive diagnostic approaches such as ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, or blood tests do not have sufficient diagnostic power for endometriosis disease. lack of a non-invasive diagnostic test contributes to the long delay between onset of symptoms and diagnosis of endometriosis. objective: the present study focuses on the identification of predictive biomarkers i...

calcifying aponeurotic fibroma (caf) is a rare, benign fibroblastic tumor that typically occurs in the palms of the hands and soles of the feet, in children and adolescents. due to its infiltrative nature, this tumor can mimic malignancy on preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (mri) and has a predilection for local recurrence. there are very few reports in the literature that describe featur...

The year of 2012 has seen many significant publications in cardiac imaging, particularly in the modalities of cardiovascular magnetic resonance and cardiac computed tomography. This article will review in brief some of the most important studies with a particular emphasis on the new evidence base for perfusion imaging both by cardiovascular magnetic resonance and computed tomography.

This article is an invited editorial comment on the paper entitled "In vivo cardiovascular magnetic resonance diffusion tensor imaging shows evidence of abnormal myocardial laminar orientations and mobility in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy" by Ferreira et al., and published as Journal of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance 2014; 16:87.

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance is a non-invasive imaging modality which is emerging as important tool for the investigation and management of pediatric cardiovascular disease. In this review we describe the key technical and practical differences between scanning children and adults, and highlight some important considerations that must be taken into account for this patient population. Usin...
