Overview
This course will review advanced techniques for characterizing myocardial tissue abnormalities and measuring function. The course will also overview rapid acquisition approaches for assessing cardiac disease as well as exploring multimodality strategies for imaging the heart.

Target Audience
Attendees who have intermediate-to-advanced knowledge of cardiac MR methodology who wish to learn about evolving approaches to assessing cardiac disease and become familiar with emerging imaging technologies.

Educational Objectives
As a result of attending this course, participants should be able to:
-Describe novel techniques for assessing cardiac function and evaluating myocardial function;
-Summarize rapid acquisition strategies for comprehensive MR assessment of the heart; and
-Explain multi-modality approaches to assessing cardiac pathology.

 		   Intracardiac flow - where we are and where we want to be
Malenka Bissell
Flow is an important consideration in cardiology. Intra-cardiac flow profiles and energetics are thought to play an important part in ischaemic heart disease, cardiomyopathies and congenital heart disease. Current gold standard for cardiac function is ejection fraction calculation. Recent advances in cardiac 4D flow MRI may now offer novel, more sensitive imaging biomarkers for cardiac function. This presentation will provide an overview of current parameters used, limitations of the technique and explore measurements for clinical use.

 		   Probing Flow Energetics
Belén Casas
Valvular and vascular diseases are accompanied by abnormal flow that results in energy losses. These energy losses can provide valuable information about the impact of the disease on cardiac afterload and thereby stress on the myocardium. Recent advances in PC-MRI have given the opportunity to quantify several measures of energy loss that could be valuable for diagnosis purposes. This presentation will give an overview of current MRI-derived measures of energy loss relevant for assessing valve performance and cardiac function. The limitations and potential sources of error of these measures will also be discussed.
