New MRI technique aims to sharpen heart images during breathing
NCT ID NCT02728284
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests newer ways to perform heart MRI that capture how the heart and lungs interact during breathing. Researchers will compare these methods to standard scans in 100 people with heart disease. The goal is to see if the new software produces clearer images and is practical for everyday hospital use.
