    SCMR Position Paper (2020) on clinical indications for cardiovascular magnetic resonance
    (Springer Nature, 2020-11-09) Leiner, Tim; Bogaert, Jan; Friedrich, Matthias G.; Mohiaddin, Raad; Muthurangu, Vivek; Myerson, Saul; Powell, Andrew J.; Raman, Subha V.; Pennell, Dudley J.; Medicine, School of Medicine
    The Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (SCMR) last published its comprehensive expert panel report of clinical indications for CMR in 2004. This new Consensus Panel report brings those indications up to date for 2020 and includes the very substantial increase in scanning techniques, clinical applicability and adoption of CMR worldwide. We have used a nearly identical grading system for indications as in 2004 to ensure comparability with the previous report but have added the presence of randomized controlled trials as evidence for level 1 indications. In addition to the text, tables of the consensus indication levels are included for rapid assimilation and illustrative figures of some key techniques are provided.

    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.
