imaging, namely cardiac computed tomography (CCT) and
cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR), in the
structural and functional assessment of the cardiovascular
system. Although Computed Tomography and Magnetic
resonance have been in clinical use over the last 40 years,
it is only through more recent advances in technology that
imaging of a constantly moving structure like the heart has
become possible with sufficient acquisition speed and spatial
resolution. Now that this technology has become an important
component of mainstream cardiology, it is imperative that all
medical professionals understand the role and capabilities of CCT and CMR in order for patients to benefit from the exquisite
diagnostic potential of this non-invasive technology.peer-reviewe
