Overview
Magnetic resonance imaging can be helpful as a diagnostic tool in conditions where the echocardiographic findings are inconclusive.[1]
Magnetic resonance imaging
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be used as a diagnostic modality in the evaluation of the patient who is suspected to have Ebstein's anomaly if the echocardiogram is inconclusive.
Advantages of MRI
- It can be used in cases where echocardiographic results are inconclusive.
- Helps in measuring heart volumes, blood flow and ventricular wall thickness.
- The magnetic resonance angiography helps in better visualization of heart vasculature and measuring the size the pulmonary arteries
- Phase velocity mapping helps in measuring the ratio of pulmonary to systemic blood flow (Qp:Qs).
Disadvantages of MRI
- For successful MRI procedure breath holding is required, which is sometimes difficult to achieve with small kids.
- Some patients may become claustrophobic.
- Due to the above, the procedure is sometimes done under general anesthesia in children.
- There may be limited expertise to interpret the MRI as well.

| 1.. In adults with Ebstein anomaly, CMR(cardiac magnetic resonance imaging) can be useful to determine anatomy, RV dimensions, and systolic function. (Level of Evidence: B)
