Gated MRI of Mouse Heart Motion

Gated MRI of mouse heart motion uses high-field, small-bore magnetic resonance imaging with physiological monitoring. It records cine loops, which are moving image sequences, of the murine cardiovascular system. This approach helps assess left-ventricular function, show vascular networks, and measure organ motion caused by b...

High-field small-bore magnetic resonance imaging, or cardiac MRI, assesses cardiovascular function without the use of ionizing radiation or contrast agents.

Comparable cardiovascular imaging modalities include high frequency ultrasound, which emits a beam of acoustic waves from a transducer and records the echoes created as the waves refle...
