Overview
Cardiac MR studies typically take a long time to acquire, process, and interpret. This session will discuss the various strategies, tools, and technologies available to shorten all aspects of the cardiac examination.

Target Audience
The target audience is physicist, engineers, and clinicians who seek to understand how to speed up scans by acceleration techniques, efficient work flows, and advanced reconstruction.

Educational Objectives
As a result of attending this course, participants should be able to:
• Identify the various acceleration techniques available clinically and new in research;
• Characterize which strategies could be employed for an abbreviated scan; and
• Explain how clinical workflow can be sped up with respect to report generation and post processing.

07:45		Less is More - Targeted / Abbreviated Exam Katia Menacho Medina
08:20		Reconstruction of Undersampled Data View Presentation Video Anthony Christodoulou Impact: Advanced image reconstruction from undersampled data leverages prior knowledge of image properties, motion characteristics, and scanner configuration. By aligning this knowledge with encoding strategies, acquisition speed can exceed Nyquist limits.
08:55		Smooth Operator View Presentation Video Sarah Green Impact: This presentation begins with an introduction to the importance of speed in cardiac imaging, followed by an overview of the factors influencing scan duration, including patient preparation, protocol optimisation, scanner technology, and radiographer expertise.
09:30		Break & Meet the Teachers
10:00		Acceleration Techniques Eva Peper
10:35		Speedy Post Processing / Report Generation View Presentation Video Albert Hsiao Impact: Pragmatic development and application of artificial intelligence technologies have allowed us to improve our cardiovascular MR practice efficiency, while providing maximal value to our patients and referring physicians.
11:10		Clinical Translation & Implementation of Fast Techniques Radhouene Neji
