Advanced Cardiac Imaging: Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR)

WEEK 1: Sequences, Acquisition, Contrast Agents and Basic Physics

This MOOC will begin with a course on the common cardiac MR sequences, the physics and application behind those sequences. We will also learn how to acquire cardiac MR imaging planes.

WEEK 2: Cardiomyopathies, LGE and T2 *

In this section, we will teach you how to assess and analyse ventricular function, LGE and T2*. We will also give you an overview of the main common cardiac diseases, such as coronary artery disease and cardiomyopathy.

WEEK 3: Coronary Artery Disease, Aorta, Pericardium and Valves

CMR techniques such as stress perfusion imaging, CMR sequences and methods for assessing aortopathy, pericarditis with or without constriction and valvular disease will be covered in this section.

WEEK 4: Congenital Heart Disease and Paediatric Scanning

This section will cover the role of CMR in congenital heart disease. You will also learn scanning techniques and common indications for babies and children.

WEEK 5: Advanced and Future Developments

In the last section, we will cover exciting advances in cardiac MRI, such as exercise CMR, T1/T2 mapping, artificial intelligence and feature tracking.

Clinical Cases:

You will also have hands-on experience to review clinical cases (eg. stress CMR with x-ray catheter angiography correlation) with tutorial videos every week.

第1周：序列，图像采集，造影剂和基础物理

首先介绍常见心脏MR序列及其物理和基础应用。我们还将学习如何获取心脏MR成像平面。

第2周：心脏疾病，延迟强化和T2*图像分析

在本节中，我们将教您如何评估和分析心室功能，延迟强化和T2 *。我们还将介绍常见的心脏疾病，如冠状动脉疾病和心肌病。

第3周 冠狀動脈疾病，主動脈，心包和瓣膜

本節將介紹CMR技術，例如负荷灌注成像，CMR序列以及評估主動脈病變，有或沒有缩窄性改变的心包炎，以及瓣膜疾病

第4周：先天性心脏病及儿童CMR扫描

本节将介绍先天性心脏病以及CMR在其中的应用。我们还将学习相关的扫描技术，以及婴儿和儿童的常见适应症。

第5周：前沿和未来发展

在最后一节中，我们将向您介绍CMR的一些令人振奋的进展，例如运动负荷成像，T1/T2 mapping ，人工智能和特征追踪。

临床病例：

您还将有机会通过网络研讨会和网络论坛讨论每周练习的临床病例（例如 负荷灌注CMR并结合相应冠状动脉X线造影结果）。
