Our Short Specialization Degree in Cardiac magnetic resonance: from imaging to medical reporting provides cardiologists and radiologists with theoretical and practical training in CMR and allows them to become more confident in the different phases of imaging and reporting.
Our students will learn how to select an appropriate examination protocol to answer the patient’s clinical question, how to perform post-processing tasks and read images obtained during the CMR, and how to deal with patients affected by structural heart disease.
With our Short Specialization Degree in Cardiac magnetic resonance: from imaging to medical reporting students will learn how to:
- Prepare a CMR examination focused on the patient’s clinical question
- Autonomously perform post-processing tasks and image reading
- Interpret and correctly report CMR imaging according to the patient’s clinical picture and the most recent international guidelines
- Manage patients affected by heart disease
Our students will learn how to autonomously select an appropriate examination protocol to answer the patient’s clinical question, how to perform post-processing tasks and how to report the results of the CMR examination.
Our Short Specialization Degree in Cardiac magnetic resonance: from imaging to medical reporting is addressed to cardiologists and radiologists and is aimed to train highly specialized professionals.
One of the goals of this course is to allow students to work on their communication skills, so that they can better communicate and cooperate with radiology technologists and the medical professionals involved in the clinical management of patients with structural heart diseases.
