  1. State of the Art:Pediatric Cardiac MRI Neil Mardis, DO Assistant Professor Radiology Children’s Mercy Hospital University of Missouri, Kansas City

  2. Pediatric cMRI • When to order • What does it involve • Where and when we offer study • What you get • Who is not a candidate

  3. When to order? Pediatric cMRI

  4. Pediatric cMRI • When? • When patient has complex congenital heart disease which requires more information than echocardiography • Best to discuss case with Cardiologist who manages patient • Coordinated and scheduled through Cardiology • When patient has risk for coarctation or other aortic anomaly • Turners • Noonans • Marfans

  5. Pediatric cMRI • When? • When there is concern for ARVD • Typically referred from Cardiology

  6. What does it involve? Pediatric cMRI

  7. Pediatric cMRI • What does it involve? • 1-2 hours of scanning time

  8. Pediatric cMRI • What does it involve? • Possibly sedation/anesthesia • Always administered and supervised by Anesthesia Department • Older children can often go without sedation

  9. Pediatric cMRI • What does it involve? • Multiple breath holds by patient • Often times IV gadolinium

  10. Where and when is it offered? Pediatric cMRI

  11. Pediatric cMRI • Where is it offered? • Main campus • Always supervised and directed by a Radiologist • Access to Sedation team

  12. Pediatric cMRI • When is it offered? • Tuesday for all complex congenital disease • Monday through Friday for limited aortic cases

  13. What do you get? Pediatric cMRI

  14. Pediatric cMRI • What do you get? • High resolution anatomic images

  15. Pediatric cMRI • What do you get? • Real-time assessment of wall motion and blood flow

  16. Pediatric cMRI • What do you get? • Functional data • Ventricle • Stroke volume • Cardiac output • Ejection fraction

  17. Pediatric cMRI • What do you get? • Functional data • Great vessels/valves • Flow velocity • Flow direction

  18. Pediatric cMRI • What do you get? • Functional data • Great vessels/valves • Flow velocity • Flow direction

  19. Who is not a candidate for cMRI? Pediatric cMRI

  20. Pediatric cMRI • Who is not a candidate? • Pacer dependant patients • Any patient with a typical contraindication to MRI • Surgical/orthopedic implant of unknown type • VNS • What is okay for MRI? • Sternal wires • Vascular stents/coils of known brand • Any implant we have adequate safety data on

  21. Summary Pediatric cMRI

  22. Pediatric cMRI • Summary • Great modality for assessing anatomic and functional aspects of congenital heart disease • Available downtown • When in doubt consult cardiology
