Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging has evolved to become an indispensable tool in human cardiology. It is a non-invasive technique that enables objective assessment of myocardial function, size, and tissue composition. Recent innovations in magnetic resonance imaging scanner technology and parallel imaging techniques have facilitated the generation of parametric mapping to explore tissue characteristics, and the emergence of strain imaging has enabled cardiologists to evaluate cardiac function beyond conventional metrics. As veterinary cardiology continues to utilize CMR beyond the reference standard, clinical application of CMR will further expand our capabilities. This article describes the current use of CMR and adoption of more recent advances such as T1/T2 mapping in veterinary cardiology.

目前心脏 MRI 在动物中的应用

心血管磁共振（CMR）成像已发展成为人类心脏病学中不可或缺的工具。它是一种非侵入性技术，能够客观评估心肌功能、大小和组织成分。磁共振成像扫描仪技术和并行成像技术的最新创新促进了参数映射的生成，以探索组织特征，应变成像的出现使心脏病专家能够超越传统指标来评估心脏功能。随着兽医心脏病学继续利用超出参考标准的 CMR，CMR 的临床应用将进一步扩展我们的能力。本文介绍了 CMR 的当前使用以及兽医心脏病学中 T1/T2 映射等最新进展的采用。
