MRI for Cardiac Protocols and Pathology (Procedures) - Video Lesson

Hey everybody, welcome to this lesson on cardiac protocols and pathology. In this lesson, we will cover key pulse sequences, standard protocols, and their relevance to common pathologies, emphasizing why specific techniques are chosen. Let's get started. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, CMR, is a powerful non invasive tool for evaluating heart structure, function, and tissue characteristics. Understanding protocols and sequences in relation to pathologies is crucial for optimizing image quality, patient safety, and diagnostic images. Cardiac MRI protocols are tailored to the clinical indication, such as assessing ischemia, viability, cardiomyopathy, or congenital defects. They typically include scout images, functional assessment, tissue characterization, and specialized sequences.
