Imaging Task Force

Aims & Goals

The Imaging Task Force aims to: 

• provide a forum for clinicians and researchers to discuss the role of imaging in the evaluation of suspected and known pulmonary arterial hypertension
• describe the basic features of imaging and to review the current ‘state of the art’
• disseminate evidence-based best practices for the use of imaging in the assessment of pulmonary vascular disease
• support the standardisation of imaging protocols to strengthen international clinical and research collaboration within a network of international PH centres
   

Key goals: 

• The group are aiming to update the previous 2019 'Statement on imaging and pulmonary hypertension from the Pulmonary Vascular Research Institute (PVRI)”. This updated comprehensive position statement aims to include the key topics discussed at the Imaging Satellite Meeting held at PVRI 2026 Dublin.
• Launch a series of webinars and online Task Force meetings  to enhance engagement with members and the PVRI community
