Cardiovascular MRI/CT

The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and The Russell H. Morgan Department of Radiology and Radiological Science
Program Chair: Bruce A. Wasserman, MD

Cardiovascular MRI/CT is designed for physicians in both cardiology and radiology. It covers all aspects of imaging and interpretation of cardiovascular MR and CT Imaging. Participants will learn about current as well as state-of-the-art applications of MR and CT in the evaluation of vascular disease involving the peripheral arteries and the abdominal and thoracic aorta. In the evaluation of cardiac disease, the program reviews the use of MR and CT in coronary heart disease, as well as in cardiomyopathy and congenital heart disease. New applications of MRI in the evaluation of perfusion imaging, quantitative cardiac analysis, metabolic changes and myocardial viability are also presented. Recent advances in the development of techniques and technology are addressed, providing the participant with the most up-to-date information regarding Cardiovascular MR and CT Imaging.

  • Covers all aspects of imaging and interpretation of cardiovascular MR and multidetector CT imaging, including coronary imaging and 3D imaging
  • Learn about current and state-of-the-art applications
  • Expert international faculty from Johns Hopkins and other leading academic medical centers
