OVERVIEW |
|
This one-day course will provide an
overview of the role of CMR within the spectrum of imaging
techniques available for diagnosis and evaluation of cardiovascular
disease. State-of-the-art cardiac and vascular imaging and
spectroscopy techniques will be described in detail by MRI
physicists, and physician experts will identify and demonstrate
current clinical applications.
Specific topics will include:
- MR coronary angiography and
vessel wall,
- Advanced cardiac function
imaging,
- Myocardial perfusion imaging,
- Proton spectroscopy of the
myocardium,
- Cardiovascular MRI at 7T.
|
|
Time will be allotted for personal discussion with the teachers.
This course will provide the background and overview of the
technology and applications that will be covered in the weekday
courses on cardiovascular MRI. |

EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES |
Upon completion of this course
participants should be able to:
- Recognize the role of CMR in the
context of other cardiac imaging modalities;
- Describe the basic clinical
indications for cardiac and vascular MRI;
- Explain the physical bases of
the various techniques used for MRI of the cardiovascular
system;
- Describe the state-of-the-art
and the appropriate use of coronary MRI;
- Recommend appropriate techniques
and applications for advanced analysis of cardiac function;
- Provide the appropriate clinical
interpretation of the various imaging indications in cardiac
viability MRI;
- Identify the pitfalls and
challenges of the various CMR techniques;
- Appraise the utility of proton
spectroscopy of the myocardium; and
- Predict how 7T MRI may benefit
cardiovascular imaging in the future.
