The Atlas of Practical Applications of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance contains over two hundred illustrations, an accompanying CD-ROM with cine-loops and a glossary of terms. This atlas will assist cardiologists to determine when a CMR exam is useful for diagnosis and provide details on how to plan and read CMR studies.
