“…Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (cMRI) contains a wide variety of options to study cardiac anatomy, function, infarct scar, and fibrosis and to characterize the myocardium by relaxation time mapping, perfusion, water diffusion, wall movement, and myocardial stiffness [19,20]. cMRI is currently the golden standard to assess anatomy and function of the myocardium non-invasively with high spatial resolution and accuracy [3,15,16].…”

Purpose of Review Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of deaths worldwide. Many complex cellular and molecular pathways lead to myocardial remodeling after ischemic insults. Anatomy, function, and viability of the myocardium can be assessed by modern medical imaging techniques by both visualizing and quantifying damages. Novel imaging techniques aim for a precise and accurate visualization of the myocardium and for the detection of alternations at the molecular level. Recent Findings Magnetic resonance imaging assesses anatomy, function, and tissue characterization of the myocardium noninvasively with high spatial resolution, sensitivity, and specificity. Using hyperpolarized magnetic resonance imaging, molecular and metabolic conditions can be assessed non-invasively. Single photon-emission tomography and positron-emission tomography are the most sensitive techniques to detect biological processes in the myocardium. Cardiac perfusion, metabolism, and viability are the most common clinical targets. In addition, molecular-targeted imaging of biological processes involved in heart failure, such as myocardial innervation, inflammation, and extracellular matrix remodeling, is feasible. Summary Novel imaging techniques can provide a precise and accurate visualization of the myocardium and for the detection of alternations at molecular level.

Most recent technical innovations in cardiovascular MR imaging (CMRI) are presented in this review. They include hardware and software developments, and novelties in parametric mapping. All these recent improvements lead to high spatial and temporal resolution and quantitative information on the heart structure and function. They make it achievable ambitious goals in the field of magnetic resonance, such as the early detection of cardiovascular pathologies. In this review article, we present recent innovations in CMRI, emphasizing the progresses performed and the solutions proposed to some yet opened technical problems.
