The Everything MRI Podcast

Dear MRI Community,
In Episode #20 of the Everything MRI Podcast, we sit down with Daniel Leite, the Chief Marketing and Commercial Officer of  AI4CMR , to explore the rapidly evolving world of 𝐀𝐈 𝐢𝐧 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐜 𝐌𝐑𝐈 and what the future might look like for clinicians, radiographers, patients, and the industry.

Daniel shares his unique perspective at the intersection of clinical practice, research and innovation, walking us through how AI is already transforming CMR workflows, from acquisition to interpretation, and how emerging tools can accelerate reporting, improve consistency, and enhance patient outcomes.

Throughout this conversation, we discuss:

• The key drivers behind AI adoption in Cardiac MRI and the most promising future trends.

• How AI can support clinicians and radiographers, not replace them — enabling more efficient and accurate care.

• Practical insights into implementation challenges, regulatory considerations and building trust in AI tools.

Daniel, an MRI radiographer by trade, also shares his vision for how AI can democratize access to cardiac MRI, making advanced cardiac imaging more scalable and accessible worldwide.

As always, if you have thoughts on AI in cardiac imaging, ideas for integrating these tools into your clinical practice, or questions about implementation, join the discussion in the comments and let’s shape the future of CMR together.

In Episode #17 of the Everything MRI podcast we dive into 𝐰𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐞-𝐛𝐨𝐝𝐲 𝐌𝐑𝐈 𝐢𝐧 𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲, a radiation free, multiparametric approach that is rapidly changing how clinicians 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞, 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧 𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐞.

Our guest is Dr Nina Tunariu, Consultant Radiologist at 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐨𝐲𝐚𝐥 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐬𝐝𝐞𝐧, shares clinical insights from a leading cancer centre and discusses when whole-body MRI should be considered instead of, or alongside, other imaging modalities.

Dr. Tunariu explains in detail common scan protocols for whole-body imaging and the pivotal role of 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧-𝐰𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 (DWI) for detection and monitoring of cancer.

She is also focusing on potential 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐬 and the need for 𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 across centres.

We also examine the implications for 𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬, 𝐦𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐢𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐦𝐬 and 𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡, with a focus on reproducibility in different settings (public and private).

Whether you are a radiographer, radiologist, oncologist, physicist or another member of the healthcare team, we are sure you will find this episode full of 𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞-𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐞𝐝 𝐫𝐞𝐟𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 that you can apply immediately.

Dear MRI Community,

In Episode #16 of the Everything MRI Podcast, we dive into one of the most important and fast-evolving areas in medical imaging: implant safety in MRI.

Our conversation focuses on:

• Best practices for implant screening protocols

• Risk assessment strategies

• How to manage unlabelled implants and field-specific limitations in MRI

We are joined by Ariona Kruezi, Clinical Scientist in MRI Physics at Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust, who shares practical insights to help radiographers, physicists, and other MRI professionals keep patients—and their implants—safe.

With the aging population and the rising prevalence of implanted devices, understanding how to safely scan these patients is more critical than ever.

• Improve your implant screening workflow

• Gain insight into MRI conditional devices

• Learn how to handle uncertain or unlabelled devices

• Empower your team with patient safety knowledge
