This webinar is a two-part, virtual educational refresher course designed to provide a practical overview of myocardial T1 and T2 mapping techniques, including the MR physics underlying spin relaxation, pulse sequence design, image acquisition tips and pitfalls, image analysis methods in clinical reporting.

The clinical applications of parametric mapping include advanced myocardial tissue characterization for assessing for acute myocardial injury, edema, inflammation and fibrosis in heart failure, left ventricular hypertrophy, suspected cardiomyopathy, cardiac amyloidosis, myocarditis and iron overload.

In the US, billing codes for parametric mapping are now available - practices should confirm that quantitative analysis is performed, CPT requirements are met, and a distinct interpretation of mapping results is clearly documented.
