We are looking for CMR cases which are interesting, classical, beautiful or plain clinically useful covering all aspects of CMR.
Submitted cases will be peer-reviewed by the web committee before acceptance - so can be listed as a peer reviewed web publication on CVs.
Cases will be initially posted on the scmr homepage, which currently receives 3500 hits per day. Your name and institution will also be posted + links. They will then be available in the cases archive where they will be available for reference.
As of 1st September 2007, Dr Mark
Westwood (UK based) and Dr Gary Cooper
(USA based) are the editors of COTW Please email them or cmrcases@yahoo.com
for information.
**2008 update. We are particularly looking for cases of ischemic heart disease,
viability, perfusion, heart failure and electrophysiology; cases where CMR explains
abnormalities on other tests (eg the ECG or echo), histological correlations
and new techniques/ways of scanning.
There will be an annual prize awarded each year at SCMR for the best published case. The winner will be announced at the closing plenary session of SCMR and receive free entry to the annual meeting, a commemorative plaque. A great international award to list on the resume!
- Authors: Two will be posted on the home page, but more can be listed on the case page. Please also send the email contact of first author.
- Name of Institution, town and country: also institution website if available +/- full contact details as you prefer.
- Images: 2 stills images plus 2 movies would be the usual format (anonymous). No name details on the images. More or less can be posted as necessary to illustrate the point. Movies may have multiple panels. Non-CMR movies also useful - eg echo/CT to illustrate features. Any format is acceptable, but they will be converted to Flash 6 for posting, so uncompressed formats preferable. Standard image orientation
are preferred. See standard publishing image orientations for CMR COTW. If you cannot flip movies into the right orientation, don't worry, we will do it for you.
- Text, typically consisting of 3 sections:
- Clinical history: Up to 5 lines with key clinical details
- Conclusion: Up to 2 lines summarising key features
- Reference(s): References can be posted where relevant.
- Technical: equipment and sequences can be described as necessary.
