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; and
- Recall basic routine appropriate use criteria for cardiac MR.
| 07:00 |  | Appropriate Use of CMR in Adults with Congenital Heart Disease Tarinee Tangcharoen Keywords: Cardiovascular: Cardiac Cardiac MRI (CMR) is the gold standard cardiac imaging in various types of adult congenital heart disease. Due to its operator-independent, radiation-free, 3D-acquisition feature, it is the imaging of choice for ACHD patients who require regular imaging follow-up during their lifetime. Recent European and the American guidelines have included CMR as the class I indication in many ACHD, especially repaired Tetralogy of Fallot and complex congenital heart. However, there are also limitations and technical consideration such as limited temporospatial resolution, long scanning time and cardiac device artifacts. 4D-imaging acquisition including 4D-flow is a promising sequence to help reducing scan time. |
