Zebrafishs ability to regenerate cardiac muscle makes it a good model for cardiovascular research. The goal of this study is to explore the efficacy of MRI in in-vivo cardiac imaging of adult zebrafish heart. Ex-vivo studies are carried out to study the structure of the heart in high resolution and to standardize the acquisition geometry to localize the heart. In in-vivo cine cardiac acquisition retrospective gating was used, as prospective ECG and respiratory gating was not possible. For the first time cardiac cine MRI in in-vivo zebrafish heart is acquired using retrospective sequence with navigator echo.
