dc.description.abstract [EN] Purpose: Access to MRI in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) remains among the poorest in the world. The lack of skilled MRI personnel exacerbates access gaps, reinforcing long-standing health disparities. The Scan With Me (SWiM) program aims to sustainably create a network of highly skilled MRI technologists in LMICs who will facilitate the transfer of MRI knowledge and skills to their peers and contribute to the implementation of highly valuable imaging protocols for effective clinical and research use. Methods: The program introduces a case-based curriculum designed using a novel train-the-trainer approach, integrated with peer- collaborative learning to upskill practicing MRI technologists in LMICs. The 6-week curriculum uses the teach-try-use approach, which combines self-paced didactic lectures covering the basics of MR image acquisition (teach) with hands-on expert-guided scanning experience (try) and the implementation of protocols tailored to provide the best possible images on their infrastructures (use). Each program includes research translation skills training using an established advanced MRI technique relevant to LMICs. A pilot program focused on cardiac MRI (CMR) was conducted to assess the program's ' s curriculum, delivery, and evaluation methods. Results: Forty-three MRI technologists from 16 LMICs participated in the pilot CMR program and, over the course of the training, implemented optimized CMR protocols that reduced acquisition times while improving image quality. The training resources and scanner-specific fi c standardized protocols are published openly for public use in an online repository. In general, at the end of the program, learners reported considerable improvements in CMR knowledge and skills. All respondents to the program evaluation survey agreed to recommend the program to their colleagues, while 87% indicated interest in returning to help train others. Conclusions: The SWiM program is the fi rst master class in MRI acquisition for practicing imaging technologists in LMICs. The program holds the potential to help reduce disparities in MRI expertise and access. The support of the MRI community, imaging societies, and funding agencies will increase its reach and further its impact in democratizing MRI. es_ES

The authors state they have no conflict fl ict of interest related to the material discussed in this article. The pilot SWiM Program was in collaboration with the Courtois CMR Reserach Group, McGill University Health Centre (MUHC) , Siemens Healthineers Erlangen, Germany, Circle Cardiovascular Imaging, Accuread Radiology Nigeria Ltd, EuraCare Multi-specialist Hospital, Nigeria, Crestview Radiology Ltd, Nigeria, Canon Medical USA, John Hopskins Medical School, USA, and Siemens Healthcare Limited South Africa. The authors are grateful to the faculty of the pilot program for their valuable contribution of course materials and training re-sources, especially to Guy Poloni and Gaia Banks of Siemens Healthineeers, Burno Triaire and Chia-Ying Liu of Cannon Medical Systems, Yoko Kato, Ela Chamera, and Bharath Venkatesh of John Hopkins Medical School, Anne Hui Sze Kwong of Circle Cardivovascular Imaging, Patricia Solomons of Siemens Healthcare Proprietary, South Africa, Nerissa Naidoo of Advance Imaging South Africa, Katia Menacho Medina of Barts Hearts Centre, St Batholomew's ' s Hospital, UK and Nirmal Parsad Neupane of Shahid Gangalal National Heart Centre, Nepal. The authors thank the learners for their participation and evaluation of the fi rst SWiM program. All authors are non-partner/non-partnership track/employee. es_ES
