CMR Pocket Guides

As the clinical indications for CMR continue to expand, these pocket guides give an overview of established normal ranges for CMR measurements, common acquisition methods and clinical indications for CMR. Typical scan protocols, tips and tricks and a guide for reporting are provided for each indication. Available here via the ESC.
