OVERVIEW |
|
This four-hour course will review
current cutting-edge topics in cardiovascular MRI. The major
emphases will include 3T cardiovascular MRI, time-resolved MRA,
image processing and visualization, and T2/T2* imaging. Course
instructors are MD’s, PhD’s (or both) Content will include selection
of pulse sequences for optimal disease detection, practical and
time-optimized imaging protocols, and a thorough review of the
potential pitfalls of imaging these patients with disorders. The
current problems at 3T will be addressed and solutions discussed
where appropriate, to provide attendees with an understanding of the
strengths and limitations of current MRI methods. The overall goals
are to increase the attendee’s knowledge base in these areas, and to
inform future clinical imaging decision-making. |

EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES |
Upon completion of this course
participants should be able to:
- Recognize recent advancements
and requirements in 3T cardiovascular MRI, as compared to
present 1.5T MRI;
- Evaluate the strengths and
limitations of current cardiovascular MRI techniques when
applied to clinical diagnostic examinations;
- Describe current clinical
techniques for assessment of ischemic heart disease and various
cardiac diseases using new methods;
- Select the potential clinical
applications of time-resolved techniques, and the technical
challenges that will need to be resolved for wider applications;
and
- Apply current approaches
optimally to these diseases.
