Course Description: Course Description: This level 2 fellowships covers the basics of CMR along with advanced education required to enable attendees to independently conduct standardized CMR examinations. It provides the preparation for routine clinical use of CMR with all necessary theoretical and practical background including workflow aspects. Courses are structured according to the "Level 2" - credentialling criteria. Criteria for Credentials This course fullfills the guidelines of the Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (SCMR). More than 50 hours of CMR related coursework including - CMR physics - studies of biologic effects - instrumentation - contrast agent mechanism and studies - cardiovascular anatomy - cadiovascular physiology and pathophysiology - magnetic resonance techniques and pulse sequences - CMR indications and methods of interpretation - use of stress agents - quality control Supervised interpretation of more than 250 CMR studies representing the range of abnormalities observed in practice including both cardiac and vascular studies. - Basics in physics - Anatomy of the heart - Assessment of left and right ventricular function - CMR examination under dobutamine stress - Perfusion measurements - Diagnosis of myocardial infarction - Imaging of the coronary arteries - Diagnosis of valvular heart disease - Diagnosis of neoplasia - Imaging of thoracic and peripheral vessels For more than 50 of these studies the trainee will perform the analysis and make the initial interpretation. After this as a Homestudy with postprocessing workstations - 6 weeks case reading using an established teaching database on laptop computers (>180 state-of-the-art examinations from 2008 as performed at our institution; students need to present a written full report for each case)

Franz-Volhard-Klinik Helios-Klinik and Charite Berlin,
Germany Schwanebecker Chaussee 50 Berlin 13125, Germany
We offer weekend courses on a basic, advanced and special subject level according to the main cardiovascular indications. Our teaching is based on CMR experience over 13 years with about 3000 cases per year and a broad spectrum of diseases. The co-operation of cardiologists, radiologists and physicists experienced in Cardiac MRI ensures well-founded, multifaceted and user-oriented training. Small groups (less than 20 people) ensure an excellent didactic setting. Our courses are independent from any MRI vendor.
The lecture portion of the courses (friday) takes place at an attractive downtown location. The practical part (saturday) including live-scans takes place at hospital sites.
Hands-on-training will be offered in small groups of 3-5 people.
The courses are directed by Professor Jeanette Schulz-Menger MD jeanette.schulz-menger@charite.de and Ralf Wassmuth MD ralf.wassmuth@charite.de
For registration contact Annette Koehler phone ++49 174 99 35 111 or annette.koehler@circle-institute.com.
