Welcome to Circle Institute Berlin
Your specialist for cardiovascular MRI training and courses
Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance plays a major role in clinical routine and CMR research helps to improve the understanding of Cardiovascular diseases. We are specialized in CMR training and are also facing the challenges due to the COVID-outbreak. We are proud to support CMR-research by enabling flexible home-office based postprocessing.
Our trainings mainly take place at the Helios clinic Berlin Buch, which is certified as training facility for the additional qualification in magnetic resonance tomography (MRT) by the German Cardiac Society (DGK). Parts of the training take place in cooperation with the team of cardiac MRT of the Charité Berlin (lead by Univ.-Prof. Dr. Jeanette Schulz-Menger).
The training meets the criteria of the SCMR and all other radiological and cardiological professional societies.
Circle Institute was founded in 2000 by four physicians. We are offering standardized courses and fellow-ships with a clinical focus. Both are operated in cooperation with the UTC (University training courses) a union of physicians specialized on cardiology and radiology from the Charité, the Helios Clinic Berlin-Buch and others. The main part of our revenue is reinvested in teaching and research.

Further information: CMR in cardiology

CMR has evolved to one of the most important imaging tools in cardiology.
Thanks to shorter scan times and standardized examination protocols it has become a standard method in all larger hospitals and privat clinics.
MRI is able to provide very detailed and sophisticated information and images on body tissue characteristics. Following this, it can depict small perfusion defects already.
A structured teaching in qualified centers by professional users has to be considered as the gold standard for an efficient application of CMR.
