Synopsis

Despite advances in CMR technology over the past decades, the utility of CMR as a routine diagnostic cardiovascular imaging tool remains limited. The recent commercial availability of wide-bore, low-field (< 1T) scanners can make CMR available to broader patient populations. In the presentation, we demonstrate how advanced reconstruction methods can make routine CMR scans, including cine, flow, perfusion, and mapping, feasible on a 0.55T scanner. We also explore the possibility of performing 4D flow imaging on a low-field system.
