The stated mission of SCMR is to improve cardiovascular health by advancing the field of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) through education, advocacy, research, and clinical excellence. The SCMR leadership and membership includes the world’s experts and leaders in clinical and research CMR, and the Society is exclusively positioned to mobilize its international expertise towards the goal of expanding the appropriate utilization of CMR. Global corporate leaders in the medical imaging industry are uniquely able to provide critical insights and input into the current requirements and future directions that will lead to the expanded utilization of CMR. The SCMR recognizes the need to effectively incorporate industry input into the activities directed towards achieving the mission of the Society; and therefore has initiated the formation of a Corporate Advisory Board (CAB).
FOCUS AND GOALS
The CAB will be comprised of a coalition of global industry leaders together with clinical, academic, and scientific leaders in the field of CMR. The focus of the CAB will be on the creation of soundly developed, actionable projects designed to:
- Advocate globally for appropriate CMR utilization and reimbursement
- Expand the availability and quality of physician education
- Generate the research data required to support expanded utilization of CMR
- Increase awareness of and access to CMR by referring physicians and their patients.
These projects will have the overarching goal of increasing the appropriate utilization of CMR with the expected result of raising the standard and availability of cardiovascular healthcare, globally.
