Abstract
The use of cardiac CT and MRI is rapidly expanding based on strong evidence from large international trials. The number of physicians competent to interpret cardiac CT and MRI may be unable to keep pace with the increasing demand. Societies and organizations have prescribed training requirements for interpreting cardiac CT and MRI, with recent updates focusing on the increased breadth of competency that is now required due to ongoing imaging advances. In this AJR Expert Panel Narrative Review, we discuss several aspects of cardiac CT and MRI training, focusing on topics that are uncertain or not addressed in existing society statements and guidelines, including determination of competency in different practice types in real-world settings and the impact of artificial intelligence on training and education. The article is intended to guide updates in professional society training requirements and also inform institutional verification processes.
