| Skill Level: Intermediate - Advanced | ||
|
Overview Higher magnetic field strengths offer a higher signal-to-noise ratio, an increased chemical shift, prolonged T1 values, and reduced T2*. These characteristics offer great promise for cardiovascular imaging in general. However, B0 and B1 inhomogeneities, the SAR increase, and more challenging ECG triggering are limitations. In this two-hour course, high-field related advantages, challenges and solutions for imaging of the cardiovascular system will be discussed. Educational Objectives Upon completion of this course, participants should be able to:• Describe B0 and B1 related problems as they relate to cardiac MRI. • Explain approaches and applications of 3T MRI to real time cardiovascular imaging. • List angiographic and myocardial applications of 3T MRI in clinical practice. Audience Description The clinical categorical courses are designed for clinical radiologists, neuroradiologists, neurosurgeons, neurologists, cardiologists, oncologists, practicing clinicians and scientists, from beginning to advanced experience levels working in MR. |
