Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) is the gold standard for assessing cardiac anatomy, function and mass
CMR is not the technique of choice for non invasive imaging of the coronary arteries
Computed tomography (CT) provides rapid, high quality non-invasive imaging of the coronary arteries
CT calcium scoring provides diagnostic and prognostic information on coronary artery disease
Cardiac Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging with FDG is the gold standard for assessment of myocardial viability
to measure right and left ventricular mass (CMR is the gold standard
for quantifying left ventricular hypertrophy)
