N2 - Pathologies involving the pulmonary arterial system include pulmonary embolus (PE), pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), congenital anomalies, and pulmonary artery tumors. These diseases present a unique clinical diagnostic challenge, often requiring multiple diagnostic examinations spanning the entire radiologic armamentarium. Initially, cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) played only a minor role in the evaluation of the pulmonary arterial system. However, with the advent of improved, high-performance gradients and bolus gadolinium, contrast-enhanced cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CE-CMR) is now well suited for this challenge. It not only provides precise, three-dimensional (3D) anatomic information, but it also provides functional data critical to a complete evaluation of the pulmonary arterial system. In this chapter we discuss the role of CMR for diagnosis and evaluation of diseases affecting the pulmonary arterial system.
