Core Tip	The increase in the number of patients on the cardiac transplant waiting list unfortunately has not been accompanied by a concomitant increase in the number of donor organs. In the present era of advanced imaging techniques it is imperative to use them for a thorough assessment of organs before they are deemed unfit for use. Three-dimensional echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging are powerful techniques that could be used for assessing hearts that do not pass the standard tests. This review highlights potential imaging techniques that can be used to assess donor hearts for better utilization of organs.
