Abstract:	Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) provides decisive advantages, particularly in coronary heart disease, myocarditis and cardiomyopathy. It accurately detects ischemia, scarring, edema and microvascular disorders, enables reliable risk stratification and supports treatment decisions such as revascularization or medication adjustments. Modern quantitative perfusion methods and artificial intelligence (AI)-based analyses further increase the diagnostic accuracy. In inflammatory myocardial and pericardial diseases, CMR using mapping techniques and late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) forms the basis for differentiated diagnostics and estimation of the prognosis. It also enables a precise etiological classification and provides prognostically relevant parameters in cases of hypertrophic, dilated, arrhythmogenic and restrictive cardiomyopathies. In the diagnostics of valvular diseases and the planning of interventional procedures and cardiac tumors, CMR provides essential additional information and demonstrates a high sensitivity and specificity. New techniques such as quantitative 4‑dimensional (4D) flow measurements, high-resolution 3D imaging and electrocardiograph (ECG)-independent scans will further increase its value. Due to the increasing number of CMR examinations, standardized procedures, qualified personnel and structured training programs are essential to ensure a high quality of care in the long term.
