SCMR CMR Board Exam Review Course 2025

Prepare confidently for the CBCMR (Certification Board of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance) exam with the SCMR CMR Board Exam Review Course 2025. This comprehensive digital review package is tailored for cardiologists, radiologists, fellows, and physicians seeking to master cardiovascular MRI (CMR) theory, clinical applications, and interpretation techniques. The course aligns tightly with official exam objectives, offering structured content spanning from MRI physics to advanced disease interpretation, protocol selection, image quality optimization, and post-processing.

Offered via downloadable access (Google Drive), this package enables learners to revisit material at their own pace. Importantly, it consists of 2 full video sessions (April 26 & 27, 2025) plus a PDF reference document (≈ 27.7 GB total). While this is an excellent preparatory tool, please note it does not confer CME credits or certificates.

• Complete video + PDF package: Includes 2 days of continuous lecture recordings (≈ 10 hours each day) plus a PDF file for reference.

• Exam-aligned curriculum: Designed specifically to map to CBCMR exam objectives—covering patient prep, safety, protocol design, and image interpretation.

• Comprehensive topic coverage, such as:
    • Basics of MRI physics, pulse sequences, and fast imaging techniques
    • MRI safety, artifacts, and device considerations
    • Protocol selection (cine, LGE, stress perfusion, flow quantification)
    • Interpretation of ischemic & nonischemic heart disease (e.g. myocarditis, cardiomyopathies)
    • Valvular heart disease, congenital heart disease, shunts, and vascular imaging (aorta, pulmonary arteries, peripheral vessels)

• Interactive Q&A sessions: Each day wraps with live Q&A periods to clarify doubts and deepen understanding.

• On-demand access: After the event, recordings remain available so learners can review at their convenience.
