Recommendations from the Association for European Paediatric Cardiology for training in congenital cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging

MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING IS A RELATIVELY new modality for imaging that provides clinically useful information in various situations in patients with congenital cardiac malformations. Guidelines for its use in clinical practice have already been prepared by a Consensus panel representing European specialists in resonance imaging and cardiology.1 In selected situations, the technique may also be considered an excellent scientific tool. In these recommendations, we define the different levels of knowledge and expertise that might be acquired by paediatric cardiologists. All paediatric cardiologists performing magnetic resonance imaging in children should have demonstrated expertise at the recommended second level, this being the level required for obtaining the European Accreditation in Paediatric Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging. Training in paediatric cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging, particularly for those dealing with congenital malformations, should be provided at 3 levels. In order to provide adequate training, co-operation is generally required with those working in other specialities, such as radiologists, cardiologists, magnetic resonance physicists, magnetic resonance technologists, image processing engineers, and so on.
