A published paper on Eur Radiol discusses whether CMR is really the gold standard for functional assessment of a moving phantom of the heart. Interestingly, this is the second paper that questions this once "untouchable" characteristic of CMR (the other pointed contrast echo as doing a better job). Both articles cite that temporal resolution is the key for better delineation of volumes (this time dual source CT did the best job). With 3T and even faster imaging it is time to overcome this "limitation". Read the full article (OPEN ACCESS!)
