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 speakers are both, basic scientists and
radiologists/cardiologists. The course comprises state-of-the-art as
well as recent advances in cardiac MRI technique and application.
The seminar-style allows direct educational presentations, followed
by dedicated time for in-depth discussion with the teachers. This
course will provide insight into new techniques as well as profound
knowledge on practical issues in cardiac diseases and cardiac MRI. |

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 among various cardiac
diseases by their typical properties in MRI;
-
Identify the pitfalls and challenges of
the various cardiac MRI techniques; and
-
