Myocardial Tissue Characterization

Myocardial tissue characterization involves analyzing the heart muscle's structure and health using advanced imaging techniques. It helps identify abnormalities like scarring, inflammation, or diseased tissue, providing detailed information about the heart’s condition. This process is essential for diagnosing various heart diseases, guiding treatment decisions, and monitoring disease progression. Techniques such as cardiac MRI can distinguish different tissue types by detecting changes in water content or fibrosis, offering a comprehensive view of the myocardial health beyond just structure.
