Assessment of intracardiac shunts
Aurelio Secinaro, Roma / Italy
1. To list anatomical landmarks of main L-R cardiac shunts and their clinical relevance.
2. To define the pathophysiological principle of intracardiac shunts and how they can influence T2 signal.
3. To describe potential clinical application of T2 mapping to detect and quantify cardiac shunts.
