Brief summary

To perform a prospective non-inferiority study of a rapid cardiac MRI acquisition protocol using 4D-flow compared to the current gold standard cardiac MRI examination to measure cardiac function and detect pathology

Interventions

Patients referred by their doctor for Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging are invited to participate in the study. Participants undergo a single imaging session including both the compressed 4D-flow protocol (4DCARE-CP), and the complete conventional Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging protocol (CMR-FP). The study exam time is equal to the standard length of a typical cardiac MRI exam as the 20 minute 4D-flow protocol is nested within a total 45 min exam time.
