The CMR Diagnostic Challenge
Growing demand. Limited specialist capacity.
CMR plays a central role in the diagnosis and management of a growing range of cardiovascular conditions. As
more healthcare organisations seek to establish or expand specialist CMR services, they face significant
workforce and operational challenges.
Existing workload challenges delaying cardiac pathways
Limited availability of Level 3 CMR accredited consultants
Shortage of
experienced CMR radiographers
Expanding CMR services without compromising existing radiology capacity
Need for
end-to-end specialist clinical specialists
Cardiac and radiology teams need more than additional reporting capacity, they need end‑to‑end clinical
expertise to deliver a specialist CMR service.
