1. Cardiac MRI is a valuable non-invasive diagnostic tool that yields detailed images of the beating heart and facilitates accurate and reproducible quantification. We demonstrate recent advances in non-contrast-enhanced cardiac MRI. 2. Various effective MRI techniques that do not require contrast materials are available for the quantification of cardiac function.

1. Current status of cardiac MRI in clinical practice 2. T1 mapping - Principles of T1 mapping - Application in patients with ischemic heart disease - Application in patients with non-ischemic cardiomyopathy 3. Myocardial strain - Principles of myocardial strain - Application in patients with ischemic heart disease - Application in patients with non-ischemic cardiomyopathy 4. Diffusion-weighted imaging - Using low b-factors - Using high b-factors - Cardiac diffusion tensor imaging 5. Phase-contrast imaging - Basics of phase-contrast imaging - Quantification of cardiac function 6. Assessment of diastolic function 7. Assessment of right ventricular function
