Introducing the course

Are you a radiographer looking to expand your knowledge of Cardiovascular MRI?

This is a specialist, 2-day course that will provide a unique and comprehensive experience for delegates wanting to learn more about Cardiovascular MRI.

The course is split into both theoretical sessions and practical workshops, giving you the opportunity to critically apply and reaffirm the theory learned.

Cardiac MRI Course for Radiographers

The presentations included:

Cardiac Anatomy

ECG evaluation & Cardiac Rhythms

Common CMR sequences

The Nuts and Bolts of Cardiac MRI (clinical application of CMR)

MR safety and Cardiac Implants

Tissue characterisation and clinical application

Stress Perfusion Scanning (Adenosine/Dobutamine)

Aortic and vascular imaging

Flow measurements with Phase-contrast imaging

Day two involves the delegates rotating through 4 separate CMR stations comprising:

1. CMR scanning with guided mentorship using a Siemens Sola magnet
2. Anatomy and pathology session with CMR clinical case studies
3. Image acquisition troubleshooting session
4. Guided image analysis and post pressing with (Circle -CVI42)

From the outset of the course delegates are encouraged to take part in discussions to encourage learning, and relate the theoretical information provided by the presentations to clinical practice. Time is given during and after each presentation to ask questions and revisit key areas of the course content. Day 2 is hosted at St Joseph’s Hospital.

At the end of each day, time is provided to reflect on the learning outcomes. The course is designed in such a way that the second days practical workshop sessions provide reaffirmation and reflection of the theory delivered by the presentations during the previous day.

At the end of the course delegates are asked to reflect on the course elements including, teaching methods, delivery, and relevance.
