Cardiovascular MRI in Practice: A Teaching File Approach
|
From the Back Cover
In the early 20th century, plain film radiography probably evoked the same sense of wonder that we now associate with cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR). Extensive technical developments and a growth of studies in the literature have increased demand for CMR, but the availability of competing tests and the lack of training opportunities have been limiting. The complexity of CMR examinations and the lack of standardization in protocols between centers likely also hinder its widespread adoption. Cardiovascular MRI in Practice has been written to tackle these issues. This digital video and text resource outlines the systematic approach to CMR interpretation. The depiction of a "core exam" and the modifications used for a variety of patient circumstances are demonstrated using simple visual assessment of the images. Special emphasis on the advantages of CMR relative to other modalities reinforces practical learning objectives, organized so that the reader starts with patient images – as one would in a clinical scenario – and works back to the didactic material. This innovative DVD and text reference is designed for all cardiologists and cardiovascular radiologists. It is also highly relevant for those in training in order to work through and practice reporting cases using this modality.

Sure textbooks are necessary, but most people learn best moving away from the staid static textbook we used in school and toward a dynamic view of what the clinical imager sees everyday when they do cardiac MRI. The important clinical questions are answered through the cases, in which you are given a history and then view the cardiac study and make your diagnosis. The answers are available with clear detail and tie in with teh text of the book. Finally a book that moves from overly complex theoretical physics of the proton, and this is how you "could" do it, to a practical, clinically orientated multimedia teaching approach based on how clinicians doing cardiac mri work every day.
