Background: Unidentified heart failure occurs in patients with multiple myeloma when their heart was involved. CMR with late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) and T1 mapping can identify myocardial amyloid infiltrations.

Purpose: To explore the role of CMR with late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) and T1 mapping for detection of multiple myeloma patients'heart.

Objective: To investigate the value of T2 mapping in the assessment of myocardial changes and prognosis in patients with acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).

Methods: A retrospective study was conducted. A total of 30 patients with acute STEMI admitted to Tianjin First Central Hospital from January 2021 to March 2022 were enrolled as the experimental group.

Background: The emergence of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 omicron variant has been triggering the new wave of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) globally. However, the risk factors and outcomes for radiological abnormalities in the early convalescent stage (1 month after diagnosis) of omicron infected patients are still unknown.

Methods: Patients were retrospectively enrolled if they were admitted to the hospital due to COVID-19.

Objective: To explore the diagnostic performance of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) with T1 mapping and T2 mapping for detection of acute phase of ischemic cardiomyopathy.

Methods: Twenty-four patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) detected by coronary angiography from May 2020 to April 2021 in Tianjin First Center Hospital were selected. All patients underwent CMR (Philips Ingenia 3.

Objective: To explore the role of T1 mapping and late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) for detection of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM).

Methods: Thirty-two DCM patients detected by ultrasonic testing with unknown origin heart failure from April 2018 to November 2019 were involved. In addition, they were compared with 18 physical examiner under cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMRI) in the same period.

Objective: To explore the clinical value of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMRI) in assessment of right ventricular function in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).

Methods: The PubMed/MEDLINE, Wanfang data, CNKI (from January 2001 to April 2015) were searched. The search terms were pulmonary arterial hypertension, right ventricular function, and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging.

Purpose: Puerperal breast abscess after polyacrylamide hydrogel (PAAG) augmentation mammoplasty can induce breast auto-inflation resulting in serious consequences. Mammography, ultrasound, and conventional MRI are poor at detecting related PAAG abnormality histologically. We evaluated the value of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in the quantitative analysis of puerperal PAAG abscess after augmentation mammoplasty.
