Course Description

Challenge yourself with Cardiac MRI Cases from Dr. Christopher Walker!

Join Dr. Christopher Walker (University of Kansas Medical Center) as he reviews a series of MRI cases of cardiac masses and infiltrative cardiac disorders. Read alongside him as he provides essential interpretation pearls and pitfalls on these cases, which will help you gain confidence in making these decisions in your own practice.

Listen to his in-depth advice on the most helpful MRI imaging sequences to use & when to use them, and how he approaches cases by looking at cine clips to determine wall motion, reviewing double and triple IR sequences, and identifying areas of late gadolinium enhancement (LGE).

Dr. Walker also includes a helpful breakdown of cardiac anatomy, how he narrows down a diagnosis by ruling out differentials, and diagnostic definitions. 

Test yourself to determine:

  • Whether an abnormality is a myxoma, angiosarcoma, or thrombus?
  • Is the distribution of hypertrophy asymmetric septal, concentric, or apical? 
  • Whether a patient has a myocardial infarction, myocarditis, or amyloidosis? 
  • Are a patient’s nodules best characterized as random, perilymphatic, or tree-in-bud?
  • …and more!

Expert Case Review Overview

Expert Case Reviews offer a high yield, case-focused learning module that will help you gain confidence interpreting advanced imaging cases. 

Read alongside Radiology mentors who want to help you fine-tune your search patterns and work through your list of differential diagnoses. 

Review at your own pace by utilizing the video player features to pause, rewind, and slow down the video to work through the case at your own pace.

After you’re done, check out these additional Cardiac Mastery Courses for further in-depth case review:

Course materials were developed from Dr. Walker’s Case Review Live webinar in February 2021. The recorded session has been converted into this on-demand, microlearning Radiology CME Course that you can work through on your own time!

Take your reading and interpretation skills to a higher level by reviewing MRI cases of cardiac masses and infiltrative cardiac disorders alongside Dr. Christopher Walker.
