Cardiac MRI is generally used to evaluate the structure and function of the heart. Here are some of the main use cases:

Diagnosis of Heart Diseases: Cardiac MRI can help diagnose various cardiac conditions such as cardiomyopathies, congenital heart defects, blood vessel abnormalities, cardiac tumors, etc.

Assessment of Cardiac Function: Cardiac MRI provides precise information about heart function, including ventricular volume, ejection fraction, regional and global motility, as well as myocardial perfusion.

Evaluation of Myocardial Viability: In cases of myocardial ischemia or cardiomyopathy, cardiac MRI can help determine the viability of heart tissues to guide treatment.

Patient Monitoring: Cardiac MRI can be used to monitor the progression of heart diseases and the effectiveness of treatment over time.

Preoperative Planning: Before cardiac surgery or other invasive treatment, cardiac MRI can be used to evaluate heart structure and possible access routes.
