Abstract

The diagnosis and management of cardiac disease require a precise assessment of morphological and functional cardiac parameters. This thesis is divided in three parts. Part I emphasizes the role of cardiac computed tomography (CT) in the diagnosis of patients with ischemic heart disease. Part 2 describes the role of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) and cardiac CT in the diagnosis, interventional planning, and follow-up of patients with aortic valve stenosis. Part 3 provides an evaluation of the role of CMR in pregnant patients with structural heart disease. The aim ofthis thesis was to gain insights in clinical applications of quantitative CT and MR.
