Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Scan Efficiency.

Accelerated 30 min cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) examinations combining cutting-edge acquisition, reconstruction, and workflow methods have the potential to expand democratization to CMR, increase throughput, enhance patient experience, and maintain diagnostic quality. At the same time, the integration of artificial intelligence into CMR workflow offers additional opportunities to improve planning, acquisition, reconstruction, and post-processing, further enhancing efficiency without compromising quality. Here, we review the rationale, design, implementation, and impact of a streamlined 30 min CMR protocol developed at our institution for ventricular ablation and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy indications.
