Cardiac MR (Part II) Q&A's

• How do they make those movies of the beating heart?
• How do you choose imaging parameters for a cine cardiac study? 
• What do you do if the patient can't hold her breath or has multiple intruding arrhythmias?
  
• How is ejection fraction computed using cine MRI?
  
• What is SPAMM?
  
• How does a myocardial perfusion study MRI work? Why would you want to do one?
  
• What is the best technique for "first- pass" perfusion imaging?
  
• Can myocardial perfusion be accurately quantified?
