Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

Demonstrate a thorough understanding of basic and advanced MRI physics, including pulse sequences, spatial encoding, and parametric mapping.

Identify and mitigate common CMR artifacts to optimize image quality and diagnostic accuracy.

Evaluate and quantify left and right ventricular function, valvular hemodynamics, and flow measurements.

Apply CMR appropriately in the diagnosis and management of ischemic heart disease, non-ischemic cardiomyopathies, pericardial diseases, and cardiac masses.

Interpret complex CMR data sets for the evaluation of adult and pediatric congenital heart disease.

Implement strict CMR safety protocols, including the appropriate use of gadolinium-based contrast agents and scanning procedures for patients with implanted cardiovascular devices.
