[Abstract] American College of Cardiology Foundation (ACCF) Task Force on Clinical Expert Consensus Documents (ECDs), united the American College of Radiology (ACR), American Heart Association (AHA), North American Society for Cardiovascular Imaging (NASCI), and the Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (SCMR), to provide a consensus document on the current state of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR). It serves the following purposes: 1) it introduces the basic instrumentation, physics, scan techniques, safety parameters, and contraindications associated with CMR acquisitions; 2) it reviews the use of CMR for assessing patients with cardiovascular disease processes; 3) unique capabilities of image data generated with CMR are provided relative to other imaging techniques. In this article, we review the main contents of the consensus document from the imaging theory of CMR, the role of CMR for evaluation of cardiovascular structure and function, clinical use of CMR, and the safety of CMR.
