Advanced Cardiac Imaging: Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR)

Yale University via edX

Overview

GOLD Award Winner of QS Reimagine Education Award 2021 in Life Sciences!

An exclusive course offered by Yale University on edX, designed for radiologists, cardiologists, radiographers/technologists, and other health professionals eager to deepen their knowledge in cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR), without requiring prior experience in CMR.

The course encompasses a comprehensive learning framework with key outcomes including:

A solid understanding of the basic CMR physics and sequences, facilitating the acquisition of cardiac images and the assessment of commonly used sequences such as Steady state free precession sequence, phase contrast for measuring blood flow, T2*, and magnetic resonance angiography.
Insights into the safety profile and risks associated with the contrast agents used in CMR.
Skills to analyze CMR images at an SCMR level 1 competency across various aspects like stress perfusion, late gadolinium enhancement, and post-processing for ventricular function.
Hands-on experience through the analysis of real clinical cases from a curated database of 50 clinical cases, using dedicated CMR software complemented by resourceful discussions in our web forum.
An introduction to future developments in the CMR field, including advancements like exercise CMR, artificial intelligence, feature tracking, and T1 and T2 mapping.
Valuable career advice and insights from renowned CMR experts delivered through exclusive interviews.

In addition, a MOOC on cardiac computed tomography (CT) is also available on this platform, welcoming learners to explore this complementary cardiovascular imaging technique, broadening their expertise and understanding of the field.

This course is developed in collaboration with the international Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (SCMR), targeting professionals looking to master cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) to leverage in their careers, whether they possess previous experience in CMR or not.

Categorized under Health Care Courses, it represents a stellar opportunity for continuous professional development in one of the most sophisticated areas of medical imaging.
