About us

The Serbian Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance is a professional organisation founded to advance the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases. The Society was established in 2019 and is the first organisation of its kind in this part of Europe. Its founder and honorary president is Prof. Dr Marija Zdravković, who, together with a group of enthusiasts, founded the Society with the vision and mission of informing the professional and scientific medical community in a clear, scientific and contemporary manner about the possibilities of cardiac magnetic resonance – all with the aim of achieving faster and more accurate diagnoses and the most optimal treatment for patients. The organisation works closely with domestic institutions and regularly conducts educational programmes and congresses in cooperation with the Serbian Society of Radiology and the Cardiology Society of Serbia. The Society promotes the importance of professional collaboration between cardiologists and radiologists and the team-based reading of findings in the form of a consilium opinion. The Society is also engaged in the education of medical doctors – cardiologists, internists and paediatricians – as well as radiographers, medical technicians and all healthcare professionals who, in their work with patients, encounter conditions where timely referral to cardiac magnetic resonance is essential..

The current president of the Society is Dr Maja Popović, a radiologist and one of the pioneers of cardiac magnetic resonance in Serbia, who acquired her knowledge of cardiovascular magnetic resonance under the mentorship of Prof. Dr Marija Zdravković.
