“…Another rapidly growing field is the fusion of imaging modalities, e.g., echocardiography with cardiac MRI. Especially planning and execution of pediatric cardiac interventions significantly benefit from this kind of comprehensive imaging guidance [ 23 , 24 ]. Artificial intelligence (AI) is one of the integral parts for image fusion (automatic calibration, online co-registration plus reduction of measurement times [ 25 ]) and will be also discussed in more detail later on.…”

Background Non-invasive cardiac imaging has a growing role in diagnosis, differential diagnosis, therapy planning, and follow-up in children and adolescents with congenital and acquired cardiac diseases. This review is based on a systematic analysis of international peer-reviewed articles and additionally presents own clinical experiences. It provides an overview of technical advances, emerging clinical applications, and the aspect of artificial intelligence. Main body The main imaging modalities are echocardiography, CT, and MRI. For echocardiography, strain imaging allows a novel non-invasive assessment of tissue integrity, 3D imaging rapid holistic overviews of anatomy. Fast cardiac CT imaging new techniques—especially for coronary assessment as the main clinical indication—have significantly improved spatial and temporal resolution in adjunct with a major reduction in ionizing dose. For cardiac MRI, assessment of tissue integrity even without contrast agent application by mapping sequences is a major technical breakthrough. Fetal cardiac MRI is an emerging technology, which allows structural and functional assessment of fetal hearts including even 4D flow analyses. Last but not least, artificial intelligence will play an important role for improvements of data acquisition and interpretation in the near future. Conclusion Non-invasive cardiac imaging plays an integral part in the workup of children with heart disease. In recent years, its main application congenital heart disease has been widened for acquired cardiac diseases.
