Highlights of the Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance 2024 Conference: the first joint European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging, European Society of Cardiovascular Radiology, and Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance conference
Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance 2024 Conference (CMR2024) convened in London, UK, from 24 to 26 January 2024 and brought together 2705 learners and renowned cardiac imaging professionals to discuss and learn about the latest advancements. Organized by the Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (SCMR) and the European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging (EACVI), in collaboration with the European Society of Cardiovascular Radiology (ESCR), CMR2024 was the largest international cardiac magnetic resonance conference to date. This conference underscored the collaboration between cardiologists, radiologists, scientists, and technologists by bringing together three major societies-SCMR, EACVI, and ESCR. Innovative session formats like 'Shark Tank' and 'Workflow, Innovations & Patients' facilitated expert opinion and practical experiences sharing in a 'TED-talk style'. With over 1168 abstract submissions and 75% acceptance rate, the programme featured multiple Early Career Award sessions, oral scientific sessions, oral case sessions, and rapid-fire sessions, all categorized by topic. Highlights included patient- and physician-centred imaging sessions, sharing referring physicians' and patients' insights of incremental value of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) in patient's management. The programme offered invited lectures in eight parallel tracks with three plenary and two keynote speakers. In addition, the interactive workshops and panel discussions provided a platform for knowledge exchange, support, and collaboration. A great emphasis was placed on collaboration between radiologists, cardiologists, scientists, and technologists, showcasing an ideal cardiac imaging marriage as a model for enhanced patient care around the globe. The event also featured exhibitions of the latest CMR technology and software, offering attendees a glimpse into the future cardiac imaging. CMR2024 emerged as a remarkable scientific, educational, and networking event, inspiring attendees to learn and collaborate within the global CMR community.
