Cardiovascular MR imaging has become an indispensable noninvasive tool in diagnosing and monitoring a broad range of cardiovascular diseases. Key to its clinical success and efficiency are appropriate clinical indication triage, technical expertise, patient safety, standardized preparation and execution, quality assurance, efficient post-processing, structured reporting, and communication and clinical integration of findings. Technological advancements are driving faster, more accessible, and cost-effective approaches. This ESR Essentials article presents a ten-step guide for implementing a cardiovascular MR program, covering indication assessments, optimized imaging, post-processing, and detailed reporting. Future goals include streamlined protocols, improved tissue characterization, and automation for greater standardization and efficiency.

Abstract
Cardiovascular MR imaging has become an indispensable noninvasive tool in diagnosing and monitoring a broad range of cardiovascular diseases. Key to its clinical success and efficiency are appropriate clinical indication triage, technical expertise, patient safety, standardized preparation and execution, quality assurance, efficient post-processing, structured reporting, and communication and clinical integration of findings. Technological advancements are driving faster, more accessible, and cost-effective approaches. This ESR Essentials article presents a ten-step guide for implementing a cardiovascular MR program, covering indication assessments, optimized imaging, post-processing, and detailed reporting. Future goals include streamlined protocols, improved tissue characterization, and automation for greater standardization and efficiency.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
