Target Audience and Goal Statement
This activity is intended for radiologists, cardiologists, and radiologic technologists.
The goal of this activity is for learners to be better able to inform clinical decision making using CMR.
Upon completion of this activity, participants will:
Cardiac MRI Overview
Need a refresher on CMR basics? You’ve come to the right place.
James C. Carr, MD
Assessing Chest Pain
A 26-year-old male presents with chest pain. There is no evidence of coronary disease on computed tomography angiography (CTA). How can CMR help to diagnose this patient?
James C. Carr, MD
Incidental Findings
A patient with heart block, a patient undergoing chemotherapy, and a patient on oral anti-cancer treatment. Expect the unexpected.
Kate Hanneman, MD, MPH, FRCPC
Evaluating Dyspnea
A patient with severe dyspnea presents to the emergency room (ER). The chest computed tomography (CT) is negative for pulmonary embolism. How can CMR help to diagnose this patient?
