CMR - Theory and Practical Applications for Radiographers

Medicine

Course overview

The course is an important step for radiographers looking to extend their practice into cardiac MRI. It covers basic MRI safety/physics and focuses on the theory and practical skills involved with carrying out a simple CMR procedure as well as the more complex scans such as Perfusion imaging and Aortogram. The course also cover current topics of interest such as mapping and contrast safety, as well as less explored areas such as Congenital imaging. Attendees will benefit from sessions on tips and tricks to help improve their skills. The newly found knowledge and skills from the course can be embedded in your future practice. We are offering SCMR technologist membership on completion. Course registration may close earlier than the application deadline date if all places are booked.

We expect attendees to leave with a broader understanding of how to acquire high-quality images, but also being able to highlight pathology with a better understanding of normal vs abnormal cardiac anatomy.

Entry requirements

Attendance is open to all radiographers, imaging assistants and clinical fellows with an interest in the theoretical and practical aspect of Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging.
