Abstract

Noninvasive imaging techniques are fundamental to modern cardiovascular medicine: they can result in accurate diagnosis and provide critical prognostic information. Moreover, they can be used to follow up a range of pathological conditions. These imaging techniques are now an essential part of everyday clinical practice, to the extent that the practice of cardiovascular medicine, as we know it today, is inconceivable without them. Correspondingly, imaging techniques play a key role in cardiovascular research. This article contains a review of the main applications of imaging techniques in cardiovascular research, discusses the importance of centralized imaging departments (i.e. core labs) for the acquisition of reliable measurements and their analysis, and, finally, assesses the usefulness of noninvasive imaging techniques in regenerative medicine.
