Quantitative Cardiac Parametric Mapping

Novel Magnetic Resonance Imaging Techniques for Quantitative Cardiac Parametric Mapping

Important: This information is not medical advice. Talk to your doctor about whether a clinical trial is right for you.

About This Trial

The overall goal of this project is to evaluate the clinical potential of fast quantitative myocardial tissue characterization using recently emerged Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging (CMR) techniques to aid the diagnosis, treatment, and follow up of patients with myocardial diseases, such as ischemic heart disease, cardiomyopathies, and myocarditis.
