Resources - Technologists

The Technologist Division of SCMR was formed in 1998 to advance the education of technologist worldwide in the field of CMR. In addition it was designed to complement technologist education with an open format of intercommunication through website access to protocols, glossary of terms, CMR references and suggested reading, cross vendor lexicon, and a list of CMR technologist courses. To help obtain this education goal an Annual Technologist Workshop was developed to correspond with the Annual SCMR Scientific Session. The workshop has grown to approximately 2.5 days with invited speakers from international centers of excellence in CMR.
