Educational Objectives:
Upon completion of this session, participants should be able to
 Describe the methodological basis of ultrafast/real-time cine MR techniques;
Describe ultrafast black blood imaging and explain its potential clinical role;
Explain the physiologic basis of and methods for myocardial perfusion and pharmacologic stress imaging to detect ischemic coronary disease;
Contrast the CMR techniques for assessing myocardial viability and explain the clinical role of CMR in patients with ischemic heart disease;
Describe the current status of coronary MRA and atherosclerotic plaque imaging.
