A pilot image interpretation teaching intervention to improve competence and confidence of radiographers to detect left ventricular thrombus in routine cardiac MRI scans

Prompt diagnosis of left ventricular (LV) thrombus is clinically important, as it may require immediate anti-coagulation treatment. The aim of this study was to determine if a teaching intervention delivered by cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) physicians would increase the CMR radiographers ’ ability to detect LV thrombus on a routine CMR scan.
