Computed Tomography: Quality Control To achieve diagnostic quality images, CT acquisitions must be acquired using appropriate protocols, an appropriate scanner instrumentation and data processed correctly. Technologists should be aware of the trade-offs in acquisition parameters and understand optimal processing techniques. Physicians

MRI: Clinical Applications allow both ventricular as well as valvular function to be addressed, as well as characterization of metabolic function and perfusion. Structural assessment can be used to identify cardiomyopathies, congenital abnormalities, myocarditis, pericardial disease, cardiac masses or anomalous coronary vasc

Laboratory accreditation will be reviewed as a mechanism for building a high quality laboratory. Key components of this program will be reviewed including physician recognition of artifacts, scheduling, technologist training, review of imaging data an
