OVERVIEW | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
This sunrise course will provide
the participant with an overview of the techniques and clinical
applications of MRI for imaging the right ventricle and the
pulmonary arteries, with a major focus on the right ventricle. The
course consists of three 15-minute lectures. The following topics
will be covered:

OVERVIEW | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
This sunrise course will provide the participant with an update on the current status of MR coronary artery imaging. It will include a discussion of the latest methods for coronary magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) at field strengths of 1.5T and 3T, including whole-heart coronary MRA. In addition to discussing imaging the lumen, the course will also cover techniques for assessing plaque volume using coronary wall imaging and for assessing coronary velocity and flow. Finally, clinical applications of coronary MRA will be discussed, including the latest clinical studies and comparisons with coronary CTA. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

OVERVIEW | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
This sunrise course will provide
the participant with an overview on the progress and promises of
ultrahigh field (UHF) CMR. It outlines current trends in enabling MR
technology tailored for cardiac MR in the low wavelength regime.
Early applications of CMR at 7T and their clinical implications for
explorations into cardiovascular diseases are explored including
assessment of cardiac function and myocardial tissue
characterization. All presentations will venture a glance beyond the
horizon and will explore future directions of ultrahigh field CMR to
inspire the imaging community to throw further weight behind the
solution of the many remaining unsolved problems and technical
obstacles of UHF-CMR. The course consists of three 15-minute
lectures. The following topics will be covered:
