Course Description:
This course will present basic MR
techniques for assessing myocardial structure, function, viability, and
perfusion as well as their clinical applications in the setting of
acquired cardiac disease. The latest developments in coronary
lumen and wall imaging in MR will be discussed. This course is
designed for persons with interests but limited experience in cardiac
MR.
Educational Objectives: Upon completion of this session, participants should be able to: Describe
basic areas of routine and promising clinical use of MR in assessing
cardiovascular disease; Apply MR
protocols for determination of cardiac morphology, dynamic function,
flow, and physiologic status; Explain
methodology that aids in the interpretation of results for cardiac MR
assessment of acquired cardiac disease;
Compare approaches for optimal presentation and analysis
of cardiac MR results.
