Perfusion-CMR A Success Story on the Transition from Bench to Bedside This technique is now integrated into international clinical Guidelines. Its robustness in daily clinical practice is demonstrated in the large European CMR Registry and proof for cost-effectiveness is available. Diagnostic perfor

Inflammation of the heart 19F-CMR technique By labeling cells or molecules by 19F fluorine compounds, CMR allows to specifically image and track these cells and molecules in-vivo. In collaboration with the CIBM-CHUV (Head: Prof. M. Stuber), this technique was successfully used to detect macrophages

Safety of pacemakers and other devices In 1997, the development of MR-safe devices was initiated by J. Schwitter by teaming up with the ETH Zurich, Medtronic, and the Electrophysiology Unit of the Cardiology Division (University Hospital Zurich). This research was the first to bring an MR-conditiona

Cardiac metabolism & energy production Hyperpolarized 13C-CMR technique This technique can produce up to 10’000-times higher signal than conventional MRI. We established this technique (in collaboration with Prof. A. Comment CIBM-EPFL ) to measure non-invasively glycolysis, Krebs-cycle activity, and

High-resolution 3D CMR techniques The CRMC benefits from the privilege to closely collaborate with the CIBM-CHUV (Head: Prof. M. Stuber). In this collaboration a novel “self-navigation” technique is under development to control for respiratory motion and thus, to visualize the coronary arteries with

Diastolic dysfunction, cardiotoxicity of chemotherapy, congenital malformations Highly accelerated MR techniques using compressed sensing (Vincenti, JACC-CVI 2014) combined with 3D high-resolution CMR techniques, T1 mapping, and MR tagging are under development to investigate these topics.

European CMR Registry This registry was launched in 2008 to accompany the transition of CMR from clinical research into daily practice (with J. Schwitter as a founding and steering committee member of this registry). The CMRC of the CHUV is the “Reference Center for Quality Assessment” for this Euro

Arrhythmias & ablations 3D high-resolution CMR techniques for fibrosis quantification will be used to assess arrhythmia patient’s and to plan ablation therapies e.g. in atrial fibrillation patients or in ventricular tachycardia/arrhythmia patients. In order to enhance our modeling capabilities, coll
