Preface
Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) has evolved into a routinely used imaging modality in clinical practice. Indications for CMR continue to expand which have led to the development of appropriate use criteria by the relevant medical societies including the American College of Cardiology, Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance, and the European Society of Cardiology. CMR is a relatively complex modality that requires good understanding of the basic principles including the relevant physics. Fellowship training programs have been developed to provide CMR training to cardiologists and radiologists using a combination of didactic teaching, clinical experience, and hands-on experience. Didactic training in the basic principles of CMR is mostly completed in the form of lectures and self-study. However, most of the available texts on MRI physics are not specific to
