A standard procedure was developed allowing study of cardiac anatomy with electrocardiographically gated MRI, using alteration of a single gradient angle of the imaging plane combined with patient rotation. This resulted in projections of the heart through its anatomical axes. The obtained images allow correlation with 2D-echocardiography and left ventriculography.
