Abstract
Blunt chest traumas are a clinical challenge, both for diagnosis and treatment. The use of/nCardiovascular Magnetic Resonance can play a major role in this setting. We present two cases: a/n12-year-old boy and 45-year-old man. Late gadolinium enhancement imaging enabled visualization/nof myocardial damage resulting from the trauma.Advisor & department
