Progresses of cardiovascular MR in diagnosis of myocardial inflammation: Based on "Expert Recommendation of 2018 Update of CMR Criteria for Non-ischemic Myocardial Inflammation" / 中国医学影像技术

ABSTRACT

The Consensus on Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Myocarditis, published in 2009, has played an important role in diagnosis of myocarditis. Cardiovascular MR (CMR) is expected to further improve diagnostic accuracy of myocarditis with the development of MR software and hardware, especially the introduction of T1 mapping, T2 mapping technology based on absolute quantitative myocardial tissue characteristics. Based on an expert recommendation (Expert Recommendation of 2018 Update of CMR Criteria for Non-ischemic myocardial inflammation) based on the new MR technology (mainly T1 mapping, T2 mapping) published in JACC main issue, the research progresses of CMR in diagnosis of myocarditis were reviewed in this article.
