Magnetic resonance imaging of pulmonary hypertension

Christian Johannes KellenbergerUniversity Children’s Hospital Zurich.Switzerland Pediatric RadiologyPediatr Radiol 2024; DOI: 10.1007/s00247-024-06099-w AbstractPulmonary hypertension is a rare but serious disease in children with potentially poor prognosis in the long term. Direct measurement of increased pressure in the pulmonary circulation requires right-heart catheterisation. Echocardiography is the imaging modality commonly used for suggesting the presence of pulmonary hypertension
