Skill Level: Intermediate

Session Number: S-Tu-02

Overview
This course will review advanced techniques for characterizing myocardial tissue abnormalities and measuring function. The course will also overview rapid acquisition approaches for assessing cardiac disease as well as exploring multimodality strategies for imaging the heart.

Target Audience
Attendees, both physicians and scientists, who have intermediate-to-advanced knowledge of cardiac MR methodology and wish to learn about evolving approaches to assessing cardiac disease and become familiar with emerging imaging technologies.

Educational Objectives
As a result of attending this course, participants should be able to:
-Describe novel techniques for assessing cardiac function and evaluating myocardial function;
-Summarize rapid acquisition strategies for comprehensive MR assessment of the heart; and
-Explain multi-modality approaches to assessing cardiac pathology.
