Journal of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Clinical Indications for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (cmr): Consensus Panel Report

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is established in clinical practice for the diagnosis and management of diseases of the cardiovascular system. However, current guidelines for when this technique should be employed in clinical practice have not been revised since a Task Force report of 1998. Considerable technical and practice advances have been made in the intervening years and the level of interest from clinicians in this field is at an unprecedented level. Therefore the aim of this report from a Consensus Panel of established experts in the field of CMR is to update these guidelines. As CMR is a multi-disciplinary technique with international interest, the Consensus Panel was composed of European and American cardiologists and radiologists with major input from members with additional established expertise in paediatric cardiology, nuclear cardiology, magnetic resonance physics and spectroscopy, as well as health economics. The Consensus Panel was originated, approved and funded in its activities by the Working Group on CMR of the European Society of Cardiology and the Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance. The Consensus Panel recommendations are based on evidence compiled from the literature and expert experience. If there is insufficient evidence in the literature, this is indicated in the report but usually no recommen-
