CT angiography and magnetic resonance imaging play an increasing role in the diagnosis of cardiovascular disease. The paper summarizes main concepts regarding the current status of development of computed tomography and -magnetic resonance imaging technology; it also discusses the potential for indicating these techniques of examination in clinical cardiology. A summary of concepts regarding the potential risk of radiation associated with CT angiography and magnetic resonance imaging is included.

Keywords: Computed tomography; Angiography; Magnetic resonance imaging; Indications
