Climate Change and Globally Sustainable Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance.

Climate change is driving increased cardiovascular risk and demand for medical imaging. While cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) plays a critical role in diagnosing and managing cardiovascular disease, it is also among the most environmentally intensive imaging modalities. This review outlines the environmental impact of CMR and presents strategies to reduce emissions, conserve resources, and improve sustainability. From operational efficiencies to artificial intelligence innovation and systems-level reform, CMR professionals and industry partners all have a role to play. Implementing sustainable practices will be essential to support both patient care and planetary health as global CMR demand continues to rise.
