Most users see 1-10 tumors/year. That is a rather small number considering the incidence described in the literature. Probably still reflects the underutilization of CMR in this regard as well.

New book in Spanish: Imagenología No-Invasiva Cardiovascular Clinica
Congratulations on all Mexican authors of the book Imagenología No-Invasiva Cardiovascular Clínica. The book covers not only CMR but also CCT, echo and nuclear medicine. The chapters on CMR were written by Lilia Mercedes Sierra Galán, Martha Morelos Guzmán, David Parra Tamayo and Michael Campbell.
A very good source for our Spanish readers.

Left ventricular reconstruction: the importance of CMR assessment
Prognosis is a definite important information provided by CMR. In left ventricular reconstruction the size of infarct can be used to assess the success of the procedure in advance. This has been shown by a group of Brazilian cardiologists and cardiovascular surgeons lead by Ribeiro GC in the manuscript bellow, freely available in English and Portuguese in the link below:
Arq Bras Cardiol. 2009 Dec;93(6):564-70, 611-6.
Importance of the area of fibrosis at midterm evolution of patients submitted to ventricular reconstruction.
