MRI for Cardiac (Procedures) - Video Lesson

Hey, everyone. Welcome to today's lesson on a cardiac MRI study. In this lesson, we will discuss patient preparation and setup, slice positioning, common indications, standard protocol sequences, and some challenges we face in cardiac MRI. Let's get started. Cardiac MRI, CMR, is a powerful radiation free tool to evaluate myocardial structure, function, viability, perfusion, valves, and the great vessels. Common indications include cardiomyopathies, ischemic and non ischemic, myocarditis, viability assessment before revascularization, congenital heart disease, valvular disease, cardiac masses, pericardial disease, and iron overload quantification. Let's start with patient preparation and setup. Several steps are best performed
