Educational Course
Challenges in Quantitative Cardiovascular Imaging
SKILL LEVEL:
Basic to Intermediate
ORGANIZERS:
Thomas K. F. Foo, Ph.D. & Martin J. Graves, Ph.D.
Tuesday 2 June

Overview
This course will review the central challenges associated with
quantitative cardiovascular imaging in the clinic with a focus on
ventricular function, flow quantification, perfusion, and viability
imaging. Attendees in this session will learn about the best practices
and techniques to avoid common pitfalls.
Target Audience
Attendees who have some familiarity with the central principles of a
cardiovascular examination and wish to gain comprehensive insight to
standard protocols and techniques in order to avoid common pitfalls and
artifacts associated with quantitative assessments of cardiovascular
disease.
Educational Objectives
As a result of attending this course, participants should be able to:
• Implement best practices in a clinical setting for ventricular
function, flow quantification, perfusion, and viability imaging;
• Recognize potential pitfalls in their own clinical protocols and take
corrective action to improve imaging results; and
• Refine their working knowledge of these techniques so they can better
evaluate the potential role of emerging methods.
