    Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (SCMR) guidance for re-activation of cardiovascular magnetic resonance practice after peak phase of the COVID-19 pandemic
    (Springer Nature, 2020-08-10) Allen, Bradley D.; Wong, Timothy C.; Bucciarelli-Ducci, Chiara; Bryant, Jennifer; Chen, Tiffany; Dall’Armellina, Erica; Finn, J. Paul; Fontana, Marianna; Francone, Marco; Han, Yuchi; Hays, Allison G.; Jacob, Ron; Lawton, Chris; Manning, Warren J.; Ordovas, Karen; Parwani, Purvi; Plein, Sven; Powell, Andrew J.; Raman, Subha V.; Salerno, Michael; Carr, James C.; Medicine, School of Medicine
    During the peak phase of the COVID-19 pandemic, alterations of standard operating procedures were necessary for health systems to protect patients and healthcare workers and ensure access to vital hospital resources. As the peak phase passes, re-activation plans are required to safely manage increasing clinical volumes. In the context of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR), re-activation objectives include continued performance of urgent CMR studies and resumption of CMR in patients with semi-urgent and elective indications in an environment that is safe for both patients and health care workers.

    Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (SCMR) guidance for the practice of cardiovascular magnetic resonance during the COVID-19 pandemic
    (BioMed Central, 2020-04-27) Han, Yuchi; Chen, Tiffany; Bryant, Jennifer; Bucciarelli-Ducci, Chiara; Dyke, Christopher; Elliott, Michael D.; Ferrari, Victor A.; Friedrich, Matthias G.; Lawton, Chris; Manning, Warren J.; Ordovas, Karen; Plein, Sven; Powell, Andrew J.; Raman, Subha V.; Carr, James; Medicine, School of Medicine
    The aim of this document is to provide general guidance and specific recommendations on the practice of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) in the era of the COVID-19 pandemic. There are two major considerations. First, continued urgent and semi-urgent care for the patients who have no known active COVID-19 should be provided in a safe manner for both patients and staff. Second, when necessary, CMR on patients with confirmed or suspected active COVID-19 should focus on the specific clinical question with an emphasis on myocardial function and tissue characterization while optimizing patient and staff safety.

    Society for cardiovascular magnetic resonance recommendations for training and competency of CMR technologists
    (Elsevier, 2022-01) Darty, Stephen; Jenista, Elizabeth; Kim, Raymond J.; Dyke, Christopher; Simonetti, Orlando P.; Radike, Monika; Bryant, Jen; Lawton, Chris Benny; Freitag, Nicole; Shah, Dipan J.; Bucciarelli-Ducci, Chiara; Raman, Subha; Plein, Sven; Elliott, Michael D.; Medicine, School of Medicine
    The Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (SCMR) recommendations for training and competency of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) technologists document will define the knowledge, experiences and skills required for a technologist to be competent in CMR imaging. By providing a framework for CMR training and competency the overarching goal is to promote the performance of high-quality CMR and to foster the increased adoption of CMR into clinical care.
