🎊 Congratulations Nikki van Pouderoijen on presenting your scientific work and receiving the recognition it truly deserves. Winning the Best Abstract Presentation award for the second year in a row is a remarkable achievement that speaks to your dedication, hard work, and the undeniable value of your research.

The unthinkable made possible. Once again we succeeded in performing a highly advanced ex vivo working pig heart experiment in the magnet 🧲 of Amsterdam UMC, part of research project SIGNET (ITEA Project Number 20052) and funded by the ITEA Office. In collaboration with LifeTec Group™ , Imricor, Adas3D Medical, and Philips, mapping and ablation catheters were introduced into the beating heart and precisely navigated into position using MRI-based real-time 2D active catheter imaging and 3D active catheter tracking. Ablation lesions were then created and visualized using advanced MRI techniques, while continuous epicardial electrograms were recorded using the PinMed, Inc. Pelex-Max MR-compatible ECG recording system. This setup is a major step forward in introducing animal-free, complex MRI-guided interventions into daily clinical practice. Thanks to everyone involved in making this a success again. #research #CAMRITamsterdam #WhyCMR Marco Götte Jules Nelissen Cornelis Allaart Raschel van Luijk Marjolein Koster Eric Schrauben Luuk Hopman Machteld Boonstra Junior Reitzema Sjoerd van Tuijl Bertus van de Wetering Bart Smeets Renate Boekhoven Jouke Smink Dan Sunnarborg Aart Nederveen

🚀 Here we go! The 9th edition of the AICVI Amsterdam Cardio Vascular Imaging - Cardiac MRI Course (SCMR Level 1) has officially kicked off! 🧲Over the next three days, participants will dive into comprehensive lectures by renowned CMR experts, explore cutting-edge clinical applications, and engage in extensive hands-on CMR case readings using Circle Cardiovascular Imaging software. Looking forward to a fantastic learning experience and exchanging knowledge with professionals from across the globe! 🌍 #CardiacMRI #WhyCMR #SCMR #EACVI #Amsterdam Pranav Bhagirath, Ibrahim Danad, Marco Götte

Beating pig heart in the MRI for SIGNET (ITEA Project Number 20052) 🤩 Yesterday, we managed, in collaboration with LifeTec Group™ and Philips to have an explanted beating pig heart in the MRI🧲 We made images to visualize the function and tissue characteristics of the heart and we performed a real-time MR-guided endocardial ventricular ablation using the catheters and navigation system of Imricor and a 3D heart model of Adas3D Medical 🔥 Moreover, ECGs inside the MRI were recorded using the PinMed, Inc. MR-compatible ECG system, giving us direct epicardial electrograms⚡️ 💪 Wonderful accomplishment from this multidisciplinary team.

❤️🧲ANNOUNCEMENT🧲❤️ We are happy to share that Geoffrey de Mooij will continue in our CAMRIT research team as a PhD Candidate! He will primarily focus on novel techniques for detecting myocardial ischemia in CMR. #WhyCMR #CAMRITamsterdam #PhD

🫀 Pig heart experiments at LifeTec Group™ As part of the SIGNET (ITEA Project Number 20052) Consortium, Marco Götte, Luuk Hopman, and Junior Reitzema traveled to Eindhoven to perform experiments on an ex-vivo pig heart setup in working mode. ECGs were captured, ablations were performed and biopsies were taken. The next step is to translate this into the MRI suite. Excited about the future! #CAMRIT #SIGNET #WhyCMR

Our study on [15O]H2O PET-derived patient-specific cutoffs for detecting hemodynamically significant coronary artery disease (CAD) has been published in The Journal of Nuclear Medicine - JNM. Patients with and without prior CAD had similar cutoffs detecting FFR-defined significant CAD. Females had higher cutoffs than males, and patients aged >70 years had lower cutoffs as compared to younger patients. Of note, these cutoffs did not translate into an increased overall accuracy as compared with previously established thresholds.
