| OVERVIEW |
|
This one day course will
provide an overview of the role of CMR within the
spectrum of imaging techniques available for diagnosis
and evaluation of cardiovascular disease.
State-of-the-art cardiac and vascular imaging techniques
will be described in detail by MRI physicists and
physician experts will identify and demonstrate current
clinical applications. Specific topics will include MR
angiography, cardiac function, flow, perfusion imaging,
tissue characterization and an overview of coming
technologies. This course will provide basic background
and an overview of the technology and applications that
will be covered in the weekday categorical courses on
cardiovascular MRI. Time will be allotted for personal
discussion with the teachers. |

| EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
|
Upon completion of this
case based session, participants should be able to:
- Recognize the role of CMR in the context of other cardiac
imaging modalities;
- Describe the basic clinical indications for cardiac and
vascular MRI;
- Explain the physical bases of the various techniques used
for MRI of the cardiovascular system;
- Identify the pitfalls and challenges of the various CMR
techniques;
- Design appropriate scanning protocols for angiography,
perfusion, function, viability, and velocity imaging; and
- Apply new technology and predict how future advances will
play a role in cardiovascular MRI.
