[Abstract] With multiple imaging techniques and sequences, cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) is not only accurate in the assessment of cardiac structure and function but also superior in noninvasive myocardial tissue characterization and even evaluation of energy metabolism. Diffusion imaging techniques including diffusion weighted imaging (DWI), diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and diffusion spectrum magnetic resonance imaging (DSI) have always been the most challenging and not been developed routinely yet, especially DTI and DSI. This review will focus on the imaging techniques of DTI and DSI and the recent progress of applications in the cardiovascular field.
