E³ 821a - New directions in cardiac imaging

1. To become familiar with the MRI physical principles and imaging protocols of parametric mapping.
2. To learn about the potential of multiparametric MRI in heart tissue characterisation.
2. To discuss the current challenges and future directions for heart tissue characterisation.

1. To learn about the prognostic impact of preoperative assessment of cardiac electromechanical dyssynchrony in patients scheduled for CRT-implantation.
2. To learn about the role of fusion on CT/MRI images and electrocardiographic data for atrial and ventricular scar identification as the source of arrhythmia.
3. To understand how cardiac fusion imaging and heart 3D representation may aid electrophysiological invasive treatment in patients with arrythmogenic scars.
