Overview
This tutorial will provide practical guidelines on how to conduct and plan a complete clinical cardiovascular MRI exam. This session is part of a series of 3 weekday lectures (1 weekday session, 2 hours) with 3 hands-on sunrise sessions (3 x 1 hour) to provide practical demonstrations of key concepts of cardiovascular MRI, including 1) clinical protocols for identifying cardiovascular disease, 2) accelerated acquisition strategies and corresponding reconstruction techniques, 3) automated post-processing and reporting workflows.
Weekday lectures:
1. Acquisition: Protocols and Planning I (35min)
2. Reconstruction: Faster and Better scans I (35min)
3. Post-processing & Analysis: Faster and Automated workflows I (35min)
4. Panel discussion (15min)
Sunrise sessions:
1. Acquisition: Protocols and Planning II (60min)
2. Reconstruction: Faster and Better scans II (60min)
3. Post-processing & Analysis: Faster and Automated workflows II (60min)
Target Audience
This tutorial is for physicians, radiographers, physicists, and engineers who want to learn about the main applications of cardiovascular MRI and how images are acquired. It is suitable for beginners and also for those who want to brush up on their knowledge or explore advanced topics in cardiovascular MRI.
Educational Objectives
As a result of attending this course, participants should be able to:
• Summarize common CMR protocols;
• Describe the building blocks of the basic CMR examination; and
• List the advantages and limitations of the technique.
