Abstract

Magnetic resonance imaging is a new completely non-invasive diagnostic technique now available even for heart studies. Due to the long time of this examination the main goal for the application to the cardiovascular diagnosis is to obtain the major number of information in a reasonable time for the patient. On the basis of our initial experience with this technique we propose a method suitable for the morphological, functional and tissular characterization in cardiovascular diagnosis.
