  1. 🫀Lesson 1Cardiac topographyHow the heart sits in the chest, what the cardiac axes are, and how the LV walls and 17 segments are named.Start
  2. 🧭Lesson 2Left ventricular axesWhich walls and segments each LV long axis (4C, 3C and 2C) cuts, and how to spot a misaligned plane.Start
  3. ➡️Lesson 3Right axesThe long axes of the right heart: RV 2C and 3C and the RV outflow tract, how to plan them and how they look on cine.Start
  4. 📏Lesson 4Wall thicknessWhy LV wall thickness matters, its causes and thresholds, how to measure it well and which patterns and pitfalls to look for.Start
  5. 🎯Lesson 5PlanningFrom localisers to pilots and the short axis, then the two-reference recipe to plan the 3C, 4C and 2C in the simulator.Start
  6. 📈Lesson 6Systolic functionEjection fraction, volumes, how to contour and how to check that the numbers make sense.Start
  7. 🧩Lesson 7Regional functionWall motion: normokinesia, hypokinesia, akinesia and dyskinesia, how they relate to LGE, and pseudodyskinesia.Start
  8. 📋Lesson 8Protocols and sequencesHow a CMR protocol is built around the clinical question, what each sequence is for, what it looks like and what it is called on Siemens, GE, Philips and Canon.Start
