A. Understanding CT and MR anatomy
M. Gutberlet; Berlin/DE
Learning Objectives:
1. To show how MRI can be used to demonstrate normal anatomy and anatomical variants.
2. To show how CT can be used to demonstrate cardiac anatomy and normal variants.
3. To demonstrate which techniques are best for demonstration of particular aspects of cardiac anatomy.
4. To show examples of cardiac anatomy and to demonstrate features which should form the basis of
understanding cardiac anatomy with CT and MRI.
