Overview
Cardiovascular MRI continues to evolve, with significant
advances in imaging hardware and methods for quantitative
evaluation of physiology. Paired presentations by physicists and
clinicians will cover basic technology as well as clinical
applications over a range of current cardiovascular MRI topics.
Attendees will learn MRI techniques for flow quantification,
stress testing, and plaque imaging. Safety issues associated
with implanted devices, and the complementary information
provided by cardiovascular MRI and CT will also be covered.
Educational Objectives
Upon completion of this session participants should be able to:
• Describe MRI methods for cardiovascular quantification of flow;
• Explain applications of flow quantification for diagnosis of
cardiovascular disease;
• Describe animal models that are useful for investigating new MRI
technologies in cardiovascular disease;
• List the applications and limitations of high field
cardiovascular MRI as emerging technologies for the future;
• Describe MRI methods for atherosclerotic plaque evaluation and
understand their clinical applications; and
• Discuss the potential safety issues associated with implanted
devices and their impact on cardiovascular applications of MRI.
Audience Description
This course is designed for:
•
MD’s and/or PhD’s, radiologists, cardiovascular specialists,
physicists or engineers who are either in training or have
finished
advanced training.
•
Technologist interested in cardiovascular imaging.
•
Prior training and experience in cardiovascular MR is not
required. While the course starts with the basics, some
experience
may be helpful for the more advanced topics.
