Joint Annual Meeting ISMRM-ESMRMB 2014 ○ 10-16 May 2014 ○ Milan, Italy

WEEKDAY EDUCATIONAL COURSE

Cardiovascular MRI at 3T & Beyond

SKILL LEVEL: Advanced

ORGANIZERS: Daniel B. Ennis, Ph.D. & Victor A. Ferrari, M.D.

Thursday, 15 May 2014

OVERVIEW

This six-hours course over three days will present cardiovascular MRI beyond the established protocols for cardiac and vascular MRI as well as imaging at higher field strength.

The Thursday session will cover cardiovascular MRI at magnetic fields higher than 1.5T including all advantages, drawbacks and hurdles to overcome.

TARGET AUDIENCE

This 3-part coursed is designed to appeal to researchers and clinicians with at least basic knowledge in cardiac MRI. The content of the course is appropriate for radiologists, cardiologists and basic researchers.

EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES

As a result of attending this course, participants should be able to:

Recognize dedicated safety issues at high field strength;
Appraise ultra high field imaging for CV MRI; and
Solve challenges at 3T and above.

PROGRAM

Moderators: Peter D. Gatehouse, Ph.D. & Matthew D. Robson, Ph.D.
