Abstract

Technological advances have enabled the rapid development of cardiovascular imaging techniques. Cardiac computed tomography (CT) and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have become diagnostic and prognostic tools for the management of patients in routine clinical practice. This review gives the main indications and describes the performance of both techniques.

Keywords: Cardiac CT scan; Cardiac MRI; IRM cardiaque; Scanner cardiaque.
