This extensively revised textbook is dedicated to the application of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging in pediatric and adult patients with congenital heart disease. Over the past two decades, CMR has steadily gained prominence in the evaluation and management of patients with congenital heart defects (CHD) and various cardiovascular disorders. The modality provides an ever-growing wealth of information regarding the heart and circulation, yields exceptional images of cardiovascular morphology and function, is increasingly utilized for the detection of pathologic fibrosis, and is expanding its role in assessing myocardial viability.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Congenital Heart Disease serves as an invaluable resource for readers who are not familiar with the field, regardless of whether they are imagers or clinicians specializing in cardiovascular disease. It also provides detailed technical descriptions of MRI techniques to assist clinicians in understanding the key aspects of CMR in evaluating and managing their patients. In the process of creating this book, the editors have assembled a distinguished panel of contributors to review the use of CMR in CHD and make it accessible to individuals working in the field as well as those who utilize the information derived from CMR in their clinical practice.
