Overview
This course focusses on the clinical questions that cardiac MRI is commonly used to address. The course investigates the types and outcomes of heart diseases and describes the role of CMR in these conditions.
Target Audience
CMR physicists and engineers, particularly those starting out in cardiac imaging. Anyone else who has an interest, but little experience in cardiology.
Educational Objectives
As a result of attending this course, participants should be able to:
- Recall the objectives of cardiac imaging according to diagnosis.
- Describe clinical cardiology questions being addressed by CMR.
- Recall basic routine appropriate use criteria for cardiac MR.
