Overview
This tutorial combines 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. This tutorial will also introduce the basics of machine learning and provide practical examples of how these are used in cardiovascular MRI.
Weekday lectures:
1. Acquisition: Protocols and Planning I (25min) and hands-on sunrise session teaser (10min)
2. Reconstruction: Faster and Better scans I (25min) and hands-on sunrise session teaser (10min)
3. Post-processing & Analysis: Faster and Automated workflows I (25min) and hands-on sunrise session teaser (10min)
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, how images are acquired, reconstructed, processed and analysed. 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:
• Describe the basic cardiovascular MRI protocols;
• Explain the basics of deep learning-based methods for accelerating cardiovascular MRI scans; and
• Summarize strategies and workflows for automated post-processing and reporting.
