Abstract
- Recently, unclear magnetic resonance(NMR) imaging of the cardiovascular system is being introduced in the foreign literature arousing great interest among the cardiologists. By virtue of its intrinsic high conrast quality between the walls of vessels or cardiac chambers and the flowing blood, unclear magnetic resonance(NMR) has been considered to be suitable for cardiovascular imaging. In Korea, nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR) has been developed by Dr. Z.H.Cho's team at KAIS recently and is now available for clinical application. We present a preliminary result of ECG-gated NMR imaging of a ventricular septal defect which was confirmed by heart catheterization and subsequent open heart surgery. On the bases of our experience and the findings, we conclude that ECG-gated NMR imaging is a a promising new noninvasive tool in diagnosing various struc tural abnormalities of the cardiovascular system and hope it will find a wide application in Korea in the future.
