Intelligent Cardiac Imaging Centered on the Patient

October 28th, 2026 7:00~8:15 PM EDT | 4:00~5:15 PM PDT

This roundtable brings together leading experts to explore how advances in cardiac MRI, cardiac and coronary CT, and artificial intelligence (AI) are reshaping care for patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). The panel will examine emerging image-acquisition technologies and AI-based tools for diagnosis, treatment and risk stratification, along with strategies for partnering with patients to achieve better outcomes. Attendees will learn how intelligent imaging can improve care while keeping the patient at the center.

Upon completing this webinar, participants will be able to:

1. Describe how imaging professionals and healthcare institutions can support earlier diagnosis of HCM and reduce misdiagnosis, including through partnership with patient advocacy organizations such as the Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Association (HCMA).
2. Summarize the clinical evidence for cardiac MRI in the diagnosis, classification and risk stratification of HCM.
3. Summarize the clinical evidence for cardiac CT and coronary CT angiography in the diagnosis and management of HCM.
4. Distinguish between assistive and augmentative AI tools, and describe those currently used for image acquisition in cardiac MRI and CT.
5. Describe common patient challenges in cardiac imaging, including scan anxiety, claustrophobia, breath-hold burden, procedural complexity and poor communication of results and how they can be overcome by AI based tools.
6. Identify at least three practice changes that can improve patient engagement, scan completion and return for follow-up.
