Not all cardiac MRIs are the same: the centres where INCIC guarantees examination quality
Supervision of 100% of examinations, dedicated protocols and specialised analysis: INCIC identifies seven centres where its specialists perform high-quality cardiovascular magnetic resonance.
Ordering a cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) scan is not enough. That is the starting point of the message INCIC specialists are sending their colleagues: the referring physician is also responsible for where the patient goes for the examination.
The reason is technical. The value of a CMR study depends on a quality acquisition, appropriate protocols and experience in interpretation, and a deficient study can directly affect diagnostic and therapeutic decisions.
That is why the institute recommends the centres where its specialists perform high-quality CMR, with supervised acquisitions, dedicated protocols and specialised analysis.
