Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is a unique imaging modality that is used in diagnosing
— and subsequently managing — cardiovascular diseases in patients. CMR provides a robust,
noninvasive means of assessing myocardial function, viability and morphology. Additionally, it can be
useful in assessing valvular heart disease, cardiac tumors, and the vascular system. Associated with
its robust nature, CMR is also a very complex technology with a steep learning curve. As a result,
there are currently few centers performing CMR in routine clinical practice.
• Topics include basic MRI principles, cardiac anatomy, late gadolinium enhancement, stress
imaging, vascular imaging, case interpretations, and troubleshooting image acquisitions
• Limited group sizes to better facilitate lectures and hands-on experiences
• Development of practical skills and knowledge will be emphasized
• Designed for cardiologists, radiologists, and technologists, and attendees can expect to
review up to 50 clinical CMR cases.
