Cardiac CT for the practitioner: A comprehensive foundation course in cardiac CT is designed to enhance the knowledge and skills of beginner to intermediate physicians who are involved with acquisition and interpretation of cardiac CT. It will encompass a exploration of all aspects of cardiovascular CT with emphasis on scan interpretation related to day to day clinical practice.
Limited didactic lectures with strong emphasis on image-based case examples, interactive sessions with faulty are designed to increase the competency and performance. The course includes interactive sessions that will focus on the "core" knowledge that every practitioner of cardiovascular CT is expected to know, across a wide range of topics, such as coronary evaluation, plaque features, grafts, valvular heart disease, transcatheter valve planning, structural heart disease, pericardial pathology and other commonly encountered clinical scenarios. Course highlights include independent workstations, actual cases selected for their teaching potential, and one on one interaction with faculty.
Faculty:
Patricia RodrÃguez-Lozano, MD, MS
Prashant Nagpal, MD, FSCCT
Anna Reid, PhD, MBChB, FSCCT
Learning Objectives:
Upon completing the course, learners will be able to:
- Learn how to identify plaque, recognize plaque types, quantify stenoses and interpret scans with focus on relevance of image interpretation to clinical utility.
- To learn how to systematically review non-coronary cardiac findings.
- Understand the use of cardiac CT for TAVR planning with introduction to basic case post-processing.
View program
For optimal experience, we strongly recommend the following for this tailored workshop:
- 2 screens or 1 large monitor
- An external mouse
- Great internet connection
- Computer with great audio and a microphone
- Need to be on the workshop the entire live virtual program, this will not be recorded and not shared with them after the fact.
All attendees may need to install the software on their computer. Dual or large monitors are ideal for attendees to view the faculty screen while manipulating cases at the same time.
A buttonology course will be held on Friday, March 20th at 12pm ET
