Abstract
Technologic advances in cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) and cardiovascular computed tomography angiography (CCTA) allow these modalities to comprehensively visualize cardiovascular structures and function. The decision to perform CMR vs. CCTA requires knowledge of the individual strengths and limitations of these imaging techniques, the specific details of a patient's medical history, and the clinical questions which need to be answered. In many clinical scenarios, echocardiography is performed as an initial study to assess cardiovascular substrates, with CMR or CCTA performed when further cardiovascular characterization is necessary and a noninvasive approach is preferable. Given the rapid evolution of these technologies, appropriateness criteria have been developed for specific cardiovascular indications [1]. © 2010 Springer-Verlag London Limited.
