Extending Cardiovascular MR: CMR at Low & Ultra-High Field Strengths

Sunrise Course

ORGANIZERS: Sila Kurugol, Tobias Wech, Christopher François, Ruud van Heeswijk

Monday, 09 May 2022

ICC Capital Suite 8-9

08:00 - 09:00

Moderators: Wendy Strugnell

Skill Level: Basic to Intermediate

Session Number: S-M-02

Session Number: S-M-02

Overview
These four sunrise sessions will demonstrate several applications into which cardiovascular MR has recently expanded. This includes patient groups such adult congenital complications as well as technical advances such as artificial intelligence, low-field scanners, and advanced motion correction.

Target Audience
Clinicians, physicians, physicists, and engineers interested in the latest advances in cardiovascular MR.

Educational Objectives
As a result of attending this course, participants should be able to:
- Describe how CMR can be used in patients with congenital heart defects;
- Describe how artificial intelligence can be applied to CMR;
- Describe the advantages and disadvantages of low-field CMR vs. high-field CMR; and
- Describe the effects of motion and the correction thereof.

View the Presentation Rizwan Ahmad, Juliet Varghese, Orlando Simonetti Despite advances in CMR technology over the past decades, the utility of CMR as a routine diagnostic cardiovascular imaging tool remains limited. The recent commercial availability of wide-bore, low-field (< 1T) scanners can make CMR available to broader patient populations. In the presentation, we demonstrate how advanced reconstruction methods can make routine CMR scans, including cine, flow, perfusion, and mapping, feasible on a 0.55T scanner. We also explore the possibility of performing 4D flow imaging on a low-field system.
