WEEKEND EDUCATIONAL COURSE
Recent Innovations in Cardiac MR
SKILL LEVEL: Intermediate to Advanced
ORGANIZERS: Tim Leiner, M.D., Ph.D., E.B.C.R., Thoralf Niendorf, Ph.D. & David E. Sosnovik, M.D., F.A.C.C.
Sunday, 21 April 2013
08:00-18:00
OVERVIEW
This one-day course will provide the participant with a broad overview of the physical principles and clinical background of cardiovascular MR imaging (CMR). The course consists of 8 one-hour blocks providing clinical background and what clinicians want from a cardiovascular MR study, followed by acquisition and post-processing strategies. Each topic is concluded by a lecture on research promises on the edge of clinical implementation. The following topics will be covered: Recent developments in MR hardware and software relevant to CMR; Cardiac function; Myocardial perfusion; Myocardial tissue characterization; Evaluation of flow; Magnetic resonance angiography; Use of CMR in clinical trials; and New and emerging techniques in cardiovascular MR. The course instructors are PhD’s and MD’s.
TARGET AUDIENCE
The course is designed for both scientists and physicians with interest in cardiovascular MR, current users of cardiovascular MR, with little or basic knowledge of cardiovascular MR. The content of the course is appropriate for radiologists, cardiologists and basic researchers interested in cardiovascular imaging in academic and public service.
EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES Upon completion of this course, participants should be able to:
Describe the physical principles of commonly used cardiovascular MR techniques; Explain recent technical developments in the field of cardiovascular MR and how these developments may (eventually) impact clinical care; and Appropriately use CMR in clinical trials involving cardiovascular diseases.
