Should Companies Help Set Up CMR Services?

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The talk argues that companies can help set up CMR services by improving workflow, digitalization, and access. Short CMR protocols already enable fast, low-cost scans with high diagnostic value, but clinicians are overloaded with scheduling, communication, scanning, and reporting tasks. Industry can support outsourcing, automation, telemedicine, expert reading centers, and mobile CMR units. A major example is early heart failure detection in underserved rural areas, using quantitative CMR and remote reporting to screen at-risk patients quickly and cost-effectively. Overall, partnerships with companies can expand high-quality CMR beyond major centers and improve patient care.
