Cardiac MRI with Contrast

Contrast‑enhanced cardiac MRI provides highly accurate assessment of the myocardium, detecting ischemia, inflammation, scar formation after infarction and subtle processes not visible on standard MRI. Gadolinium increases image contrast, while LGE, perfusion and T1/T2 mapping deliver detailed tissue characterization.

Benefits at Brigid Center

🎯

Accurate diagnosis

Identifies ischemia, necrosis, fibrosis and myocardial inflammation.

LGE and perfusion

Late gadolinium enhancement and rest/stress perfusion studies.

🧪

T1/T2 mapping

Quantifies edema, fibrosis and fatty infiltration.

🫀

Cine SSFP

Functional assessment: ejection fraction, wall motion, valvular function.

🔗

ECG gating

ECG‑synchronized imaging and breath‑holds for motion‑stable frames.

🛡️

Safety

No ionizing radiation; monitored contrast administration.

Indications

  • Pre‑operative cardiac evaluation.
  • Diagnosis of vascular and coronary pathology.
  • Risk assessment for myocardial infarction and ischemic disease.
  • Post‑infarct follow‑up.
  • Early atherosclerosis detection.
  • Detailed visualization of coronary vessels.

What does the exam show?

  • Extent of ischemic disease and myocardial viability.
  • Distribution of post‑infarct scarring (LGE fibrosis/scar).
  • Areas of edema and hyperemia (T2/T1 mapping).
  • Necrotic lesions; infarct involvement.
  • Cardiac tumors (if present); pericardial involvement.
  • Functional parameters: LV/RV EF, regional wall motion, valves.

Procedure

  • Contrast is administered intravenously via catheter.
  • Non‑magnetic ECG electrodes are placed for rhythm synchronization.
  • Remain still and perform periodic breath‑holds during imaging.
  • Total duration 30–60 minutes. A formal report is prepared afterwards.

Equipment and sequences

  • High‑field 1.5T MRI with ECG gating and injector.
  • Cine SSFP, LGE, T1/T2 mapping, rest/stress perfusion.
  • Structured report with quantitative metrics (EF, volumes, mass).
