Gain practical, hands-on experience in cardiac CT interpretation with CTA Read with the Experts. This course featuring real-world cases from MedStar Washington Hospital Center is designed for clinicians and technologists and offers a guided, step-by-step approach to preparing and interpreting datasets on a Circle workstation — equipping you with the skills to confidently apply findings to clinical decision-making.

This course offers two unique learning opportunities:

1. A 5-hour course that covers 10 cases in deep detail with the opportunity to manipulate the first case alongside the experts.
2. Independent reading of 15 cases over a 30-day period along with interactive case log.
   

Faculty:

Gaby Weissman, MD
Sumbal Janjua, MD

Learning objectives:

• Leverage advanced imaging reconstructions to enhance cardiac CT interpretation.
• Recognize normal and abnormal coronary anatomy—and understand their clinical impact.
• Navigate common pitfalls, including motion artifacts and heavy calcium burden, with proven strategies to minimize errors.
• Explore the role of CT-derived fractional flow reserve in evaluating coronary artery stenosis.
• Understand the advantages of cardiac CT in assessing cardiac function.
  

Take your expertise in cardiovascular imaging to the next level with practical insights, expert instruction and case-based learning you can apply immediately in clinical practice.
