Aim and content This course is free of charge for PhD students at Danish universities (except Copenhagen Business School), and for PhD students at graduate schools in the other Nordic countries. All other participants must pay the course fee. Anyone can apply for the course, but if you are not a PhD student at a Danish university, you will be placed on the waiting list until enrollment deadline. This also applies to PhD students from Nordic countries. After the enrollment deadline, available seats will be allocated to applicants on the waiting list. Learning objectives A student who has met the objectives of the course will be able to: a.Understand the basic physics of MRI a.Describe how and why MRI works b.Explain how images are produced b.Have a brief insight in the different components inside the MRI scanner c.Have a general knowledge about common preclinical/clinical CMR protocols d.Acquire some knowledge on how to determine myocardial perfusion, and important physiological variables e.be familiar with the importance of optimizations of imaging parameters (e.g. Signal and noise, Contrast, Resolution…) f.Have insight of the MR applications within different cardiac diseases with special reference to physiology, such as: a.Aorta and aortic distensibility b.Cardiomyopathies including systolic and diastolic function c.Valvular heart diseases d.Ischemic heart diseases g.Reflect on MRI safety procedures Content The course will introduce the students to the basic principles of MRI and some applications within the cardiovascular system. The focus of the MRI applications will primarily be on how to determine clinically important aspects of morphology and function, although some preclinical Cardiac MR applications will be mentioned. The students will get knowledge of key terminology associated with cardiac MRI and will be able to understand which parameters (in MRI scanning protocols) are of important for different applications. Participants People who are working with and/or interested in cardiac MR applications. No prior knowledge of MRI is required. The maximum no. of participants is 20. Relevance to graduate programmes The course is relevant to PhD students from the following graduate programmes at the Graduate School of Health and Medical Sciences, UCPH: All graduate programmes Language The course will be in English. However, if only Danish participants are enrolled parts of the course might be taught in Danish. Form Lectures and discussions. Course director Henrik El-Ali, Assoc.

Prof., Consultant in Cardiology, The Cardiac Imaging Unit, Herlev-Gentofte University Hospital, lav.madsen@gmail.com Teachers Henrik El ALI, Per Lav Madsen and others. Course secretary Grace Holm Dates Duration: 3 days Date: 2nd-4th of March 2020 Course location Panum Building, SUND, KU Registration Please register before 16th of February 2020 Seats to PhD students from other Danish universities will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis and according to the applicable rules. Applications from other participants will be considered after the last day of enrolment. Note: All applicants are asked to submit invoice details in case of no-show, late cancellation or obligation to pay the course fee (typically non-PhD students).
