Conventional cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in congenital heart disease (CHD) enables dynamic morphologic and vascular assessment. However, current techniques require multi-slice cine imaging and angiography with supplemental phase-contrast. We demonstrate that 4D multiphase steady state imaging with contrast (MUSIC) can provide high-resolution dynamic images of all relevant cardiovascular anatomy without breath-holding or operator input in a cohort of neonates and infants with CHD. Further, 4D MUSIC has high clinical impact on the care of small children.
