Thank you for visiting the breakfast symposium “First Coffee, First Case | Exercise-CMR: From Image Acquisition to Analysis” during the SCMR congress. Together with leading experts from Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Harvard Medical School, we explored the full workflow of Exercise Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (Exercise CMR) — from device setup to imaging acquisition and data analysis.
The session offered a concise, practical roadmap for integrating Exercise-CMR into daily clinical and research practice.
Leading experts shared their real-world experience in integrating MR-compatible ergometry into clinical and research environments.

The MR ergometer Pedal is specifically designed for exercising, inducing stress during MRI examinations. In many diseases, symptoms will only occur during stress, therefore a dynamic evaluation is required. Using an MR ergometer is the most natural form of exercise and triggering stress response during MR examinations.
Seamless integration with leading MRI brands
The Lode MR Ergometer is compatible with scanners from GE, Philips, Siemens and United Imaging, and supports a range of bore sizes for flexible use in both clinical and research settings.
We are pleased to share a selection of scientific publications that highlight the growing role of MR-compatible ergometry in cardiac imaging and research. Explore these studies to gain deeper insights and inspiration for advancing your own exercise CMR applications.
Get a hands-on view of how the MR Ergometer supports advanced exercise cardiovascular magnetic resonance (Exercise CMR) studies. On our YouTube channel, you’ll find demonstration videos that clearly show the setup, calibration, and operation of the MR Ergometer in combination with LEM software for accurate data acquisition and control.
Each MR Ergometer is supplied with a custom carrier system for effortless placement on the MRI table and safe, space-efficient storage. In our tutorial videos, you’ll see the complete workflow — from ergometer installation inside the MRI to synchronized data capture through LEM software.
Trusted by research centers worldwide, the MR Ergometer Pedal is widely used in exercise cardiac MRI to deliver precise, reproducible, and physiologically relevant cardiac stress testing. Experience how the MR Ergometer and LEM software together enable high-quality, real-time assessment of cardiac performance under load.
