cvi42 6.5 rebuilds two of the most time-consuming parts of a CMR study.

Dr. François presents a live 4D Flow case in the redesigned workspace: phase offset correction and anti-aliasing run automatically, the aorta, pulmonary vessels and chambers arrive pre-segmented, and up to 12 analysis planes can be placed per segmentation with results updating as you work.

Dr. Steel follows with Quantitative Perfusion — improved motion correction for the dual-sequence technique and the rebuilt polar map display. Both now carry dedicated reporting sections, so quantification reaches the final report without manual transcription.

Approximately 45 minutes of case-based content, followed by live Q&A.

Expert Panelists:
- Dr. Kevin Steel - PeaceHealth, Bellingham, WA
- Dr. Christopher François - Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN

Elevate cardiac MR image quality with the power of deep learning

Cardiac MR exams often require acquisitions over multiple heartbeats, which can lead to motion-related blurring and reduced image fidelity—ultimately impacting diagnostic confidence. With advanced deep learning techniques, CMR data can now be acquired over fewer heartbeats, helping deliver sharper images, shorter scan times, and greater confidence in diagnosis.

Join Dr. Gianluca Pontone from Centro Cardiologico Monzino and Dr. Jason Johnson from Le Bonheur Children's Hospital as they share how deep learning-enabled CMR has transformed their clinical practice. They will discuss real-world experiences, workflow impact, and how these techniques are helping reduce scan time while enhancing image quality and diagnostic confidence.

The session will be moderated by Dr. Chiara Bucciarelli-Ducci from Royal Brompton Hospital, CEO of SCMR.

This webinar aims to provide early-career faculty with focused guidance on how to navigate implementing new clinical practices and workflows as they transition into independent practice..

Fetal CMR SIG brings this interesting webinar “From Imaging in Pregnancy to Basic Childbirth Principles and Improved Health" to the SCMR audience. It includes talks from two distinctive researchers who will share their experience and knowledge on two different topics. Dr. Zaigham will share the importance and goals of the Lancet Commission of Maternal and Newborn Health. As the Fetal and Pregnancy SCMR SIG now turns the focus to also include Pregnancy and Placenta, Dr. Gowland is invited to discuss placental MR imaging and importance in fetal health. There will be a panel discussion following presentations at the end, and the session is open to submitting questions throughout.
