Description
This pictorial instructional pocket guide, derived from Cardiovascular MRI Tutorial, is a quick reference for MRI technologists, technologist trainees, and radiology or cardiology residents or fellows. Routine cardiac imaging protocols are presented in step-by-step fashion for immediate reference during an MRI examination. Each chapter displays a specific protocol from start to finish, including positioning, anatomy, and sequence terminology, with easy-to-follow illustrative images. Coverage includes protocols for cardiac function; cardiac function/viability; cardiac function/non-ischemic viability; arch; arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy (ARVD/C); pulmonary vein electrophysiology (EP) ablation; constrictive pericarditis; atrial or ventricular septal defect (ASD or VSD); anomalous coronaries; and cardiac thalassemia.
Features
--Equipment dos and don'ts
--Imaging protocols for the tech
--Patient safety issues related to cardiovascular MR
--Scan parameters in a compact format
--Vendor-specific protocols in a grid format
--Tabs for various protocols allow the tech to select a protocol--for instance, arch--and see relevant anatomy, a series of positions, and the proper sequences to perform. This will be a step-by-step, pictorial demonstration: essentially cardiac positioning on the go.
