Demystifying imaging laboratory accreditation.
t is self-evident that patients expect high quality of the services they receive. For this reason, procedural-based medical (therapeutic) services have long been subject to some form of quality assessment. In the same vein, it is also appropriate that similar expectations have recently come about for cardiovascular (CV) imaging (diagnostic) services. In this report, we provide the background of...
متن کاملUpdated standards and processes for accreditation of echocardiographic laboratories from The European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging.
Standards for echocardiographic laboratories were proposed by the European Association of Echocardiography (now the European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging) 7 years ago in order to raise standards of practice and improve the quality of care. Criteria and requirements were published at that time for transthoracic, transoesophageal, and stress echocardiography. This paper reassesses and up...

متن کاملMRI techniques for cardiovascular imaging.
Over the last several years, cardiovascular MRI has benefited from a number of technical advances which have improved routine clinical imaging techniques. As a result, MRI is now well positioned to realize its longstanding promise of becoming the comprehensive cardiac imaging test of choice in many clinical settings. This may be achieved using a combination of basic advanced techniques. In this...
متن کاملParallel Imaging for Cardiovascular Applications
INTRODUCTION: The use of parallel imaging for cardiovascular application has become virtually ubiquitous. Substantial progress since the Zurich Parallel Imaging Workshop held in 2004 has led to improved image quality, reduced exam times, and reduced breath-hold duration. Real-time imaging may be used for free-breathing studies and in patients with arrhythmias or heart rate variation. Cardiac MR...
