Overview
Many radiographers will be familiar with CMR techniques in adult acquired heart disease. However, in congenital heart disease, the complex anatomy provides challenges which require modified approaches and techniques. This talk will aim to provide an overview of common challenges, how to overcome these and apply the basic principles of CMR in congenital heart disease assessment.
We will also focus on common cardiomyopathies in children, examining their presentation and the critical role of MRI in diagnosis and management. Additionally, we will discuss the advantages of Ferumoxytol as an alternative contrast agent to gadolinium-based agents, particularly in paediatric CHD imaging, highlighting its potential benefits in enhancing vascular imaging and reducing associated risks.

Target Audience
MRI Technologists and Radiographers.

Educational Objectives
As a result of attending this course, participants should be able to:
• Apply the routine imaging planes to congenital heart lesions;
• Understand the requirements for sequence selection and optimisation;
• Troubleshoot pathways to help achieve diagnostic images e.g. in cases of arrhythmia or inability to breath-hold;
• Understand current classifications of cardiomyopathies in children and typical MRI findings in children;
• Gain knowledge about special features in childhood; and
• Understand the advantages of Ferumoxytol over gadolinium-based contrast agents in CHD.
