Clinical Responsibilities
Heart disease, particularly related to ischemia and infarction, remains the principal cause of morbidity and death in the Western World. MRI and CT have the potential of playing significant roles in the evaluation of the heart, both for research and clinical applications.
Current clinical/clinical research activities include MRI evaluation of congenital heart disease and heart failure and fast CT evaluation of coronary artery disease and other cardiovascular abnormalities. As our new methods for MRI evaluation of quantitative regional cardiac function and perfusion are further developed, they will be evaluated in selected patient populations.
