I was trained in cardiopulmonary technology in the early 80's and have been working at Duke Hospital for 21 years for the Heart Center as a RCIS, CCPT. I was fortunate 6 years ago to move from the cardiac catheterization lab to a "new" imaging technique for heart disease: cardiovascular MRI (CMR). This is still a fairly new mode of imaging, much like echo in the early years. The techs I meet working in this arena are radiology technologists and some cardiovascular technologists. There is a small amount of education on CMR at the large cardiology conferences such as the TCT, ACC and AHA and at radiology conferences, primarily directed for physicians. I am also a member of the Society of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance and attend an annual conference, but I haven't seen much from the cardiovascular technology side with ACVP. Will there be anything in the future?

YES!! There will be two whole sessions devoted to imaging, including MRI and CT and more, at the upcoming leadership conference, march 27-29 at the palmer house hilton in chicago. If you go to the "education" portion of our website, you can see the program and more!! In addition, if there are speakers you would like to hear from and/or authors for upcoming articles, please let me know and I will follow-up. Thanks -- peggymcelgunn@comcast.net
