Status of cardiovascular magnetic resonance in clinical application and scientific research: a national survey in China.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is rapidly expanding in China, yet comprehensive national data on its clinical application and research status are limited. This study aims to evaluate the current landscape of CMR across the country.

Methods

An electronic survey was conducted targeting the following two groups: physicians trained at the Fuwai Fellowship Program and members of the Chinese Society of Radiology. The survey encompassed details on CMR equipment, clinical practices, and research activities.

Results

Of 248 hospitals responded to the survey, 98.0% (243/248) were tertiary centers. The number of scanners distributed unevenly across geographic regions, with Central South China leading with 5.9/center. Siemens, Philips and GE were top three scan
