OVERVIEW |
|
This two-hour course will provide an
overview of the role of cardiac MR within the spectrum of imaging
techniques available for diagnosis and evaluation of cardiac
disease. The course comprises state-of-the-art application of
routine cardiac MRI, and the case-based format allows insight into
common and rare pathologies which can be detected and classified by
MRI. Our goal is to prove insight into new techniques as well as
insightful knowledge on practical issues in cardiac diseases and
cardiac MRI. Speakers will be both basic scientists and
radiologists/cardiologists, and formal talks will be followed by a
time for in-depth discussion with the teachers. |

EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES |
Upon completion of this course
participants should be able to:
- Design appropriate scanning
protocols for cardiac MR imaging;
- Describe the basic clinical
indications for cardiac MRI;
- Discriminate various cardiac
diseases by their typical properties in MRI;
- Identify the pitfalls and
challenges of the various Cardiac MRI techniques; and
- Compare and optimally apply the
pulse sequences used for cardiac perfusion, function, viability,
and velocity imaging in MRI.
