This new and unique clinical resource offers rapid access to high-quality images covering a broad spectrum of paediatric and adult cardiac pathologies visualized using MRI and CT. Key images of each condition and a clear interpretation of their MR appearances allow for greater understanding of the pathology. Focus is given to the planning of imaging planes, techniques and sequences to obtain the best images and improve MR assessment. This text would benefit all health professionals involved in imaging congenital cardiac disease.
