Ladejobi and Schelbert for their interest in our work and for acknowledging that the CE-MARC study (1) and its long-term follow-up have provided important data supporting the usefulness of CMR in patient care. We fully agree that the diagnostic versatility of CMR is a major advantage over nuclear imaging methods. This advantage relates to CMR's ability to provide high spatial resolution, cross-sectional (anatomical) imaging of the thorax as well as detailed morphologic and functional assessment of the cardiovascular system that allows for the detection of noncardiac pathologic conditions or other cardiac ones different from those ...References1.
