Vision Statement

The Society of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (SCMR) aims to be the recognized representative and advocate for physicians, scientists, and technologists who work in the field of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR). Its aim is to be seen, both nationally and internationally, as the principal independent organization committed to the further development of CMR through education, quality control, research, and training.

Mission Statement

The mission of SCMR is to:
  • Foster optimal clinical effectiveness of CMR through professional education, establishment of standards for quality assurance and professional training, continued medical education, and development of evidence-based guidelines for its use to enhance patient care and improve the quality of cardiovascular medical practice.

  • Support coordinated research efforts to promote further development and applications of CMR, and to investigate accuracy, effectiveness, and cost-effectiveness in cardiovascular diagnosis.

  • Provide a forum for scientific exchange and information on CMR, through organisation of an annual international scientific conference and of additional smaller meetings, and through publication of the Journal of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance, and through establishing close working relationships with societies in related fields.

  • Build a strong national and international membership body of physicians, scientists, technologists, administrators and other individuals with interest in clinical applications or research in CMR.

  • Develop relevant member services, resources and assistance to enhance the development of the field of CMR.
