SCCT offers specialty hands-on workshops, symposia and courses alongside the main scientific program designed to give an in-depth look at targeted techniques and technologies. Specialty events are held on Wednesday, July 16 and Thursday, July 17 prior to the SCCT2025 Scientific Sessions and require separate registration.
Space is limited; register early. All specialty events will be held in-person in Montréal, Canada and will not be recorded.
AI/ML interactive workshop July 17, 2025 Chairs: Andrew Choi, MD, MSCCT; Manish Motwani, MBChB, PhD, FSCCT
Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are driving rapid enhancements across the spectrum of cardiovascular CT (CCT). Education gaps exist in appropriately developing, evaluating and leveraging these new AI/ML driven
CCT technologies to advance the science and rapidly enhance the care of patients in international health care environment.
The workshop seeks to further appraise the current gaps in clinical care in the realm of coronary
artery disease, prevention and valvular heart disease through AI/ML solutions. This workshop engages world leading experts in CCT, AI and data science to present these topics in a unique, small group format for health care leaders
and physicians as well as trainees and early career professionals. Attendees that participate in this workshop will better understand the evidence generation, regulatory pathways and economic impact of AI to drive positive systematic
changes in clinical practice.
Aortic and mitral intervention: Procedural planning workshop July 16 - 17, 2025 Chairs: Jonathan Weir-McCall, MBChB, PhD, FSCCT and Anna
Reid, MBChB, PhD, FSCCT
Participants will learn how to acquire and interpret cardiovascular CT for TAVR and TMVR. Participants will learn through lectures and standardized analytical process the standardized measurements from cardiovascular CT to optimize clinical
and procedural with a focus on pre-procedure planning, device selection, and avoidance of complications. In addition, the importance of post-procedural imaging evaluation of these patients will be reviewed and discussed. TAVR and TMVR
will also be explored in the post-surgical setting, exploring the assessment of structural valve degeneration, and the work-up of valve in valve and valve in ring procedures.
During this course you will learn from a multi-disciplinary,
expert faculty using a hands-on, case-based approach. Learners will be able to practice and apply their skills on actual cases and interact with instructors one-on-one and in small groups.
The Society of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography (SCCT) is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education for physicians.

CTA Academy: Cardiac CT in routine clinical July 16 - 17, 2025 Chairs: Russell Bull, BSc, MB Bchir, FSCCT and Srikanth Iyengar, MD
This course is aimed at both clinicians just starting out in cardiac CT as well as more advanced practitioners. It will focus of guiding the participants though a wide range of cases with ‘hands on’ instruction and interaction. Topics
will include principles of CT image acquisition and optimization, how to cope with artefacts and how to deal with challenging patients including high heart rates, high BMI, challenging rhythms and those with high extensive calcified
plaque and stents. In addition to cases focusing on the coronaries, a wide range of other conditions and pathologies will be included including evaluation of cardiac masses, pericardial disease, valvular and aortic pathology and important
extra-cardiac conditions.

Tricuspid, pulmonic and LAAO workshop July 17, 2025 Chairs: Omar Khalique, MD and Markus Scherer, MD Faculty: Roosha Parikh, MD, FSCCT
In this exciting workshop, participants will interpret cardiac CTA for tricuspid valve, pulmonic valve, and left atrial appendage occlusion – the next wave of structural heart interventions. Participants will learn how to use cardiovascular
CT to optimize clinical outcomes in structural heart disease with a focus on procedure planning, device selection and sizing, and avoidance of complications. During this course you will learn from a group of multi-disciplinary, expert
faculty using a hands-on, case-based approach. Learners will be able to practice and apply their skills on actual cases and interact with instructors one-on-one and in small groups.

Don't miss the chance to enhance your skills and knowledge in the field of cardiac imaging at the SCCT2025 Technologist hands-on workshop. This 4-hour technologist workshop will focus on two main topics, ECG gating and 3D post processing.
Cardiac imaging is reliant on ECG gating. In session one, attendees will get to the heart of ECG basics education, share pre-acquisition decision algorithms and post-acquisition editing guidance. This session will conclude with a case-based
learning session utilizing the strategies learned. The second session will be all about cardiac post processing which will include both educational presentations and hands-on learning opportunities. The workshop will also cover the
uses of AI in cardiac post processing and will end with an opportunity to practice skills learned on real cases.
Learning objectives:
Session 1
Identify the components of an ECG and commonly encountered ECG rhythms/interference.
2. Describe the components of pre and post-scan guidelines.
3. Explain how the pre and post-scan guidelines facilitate high quality cardiac CT imaging and demonstrate their application.
Session 2
Recognize 3DPP protocols needed for accurate result in specific software.
Practice measurements needed for specific cardiac protocols.
Perform complete protocol for CCTA post processing exam, such as MPR, rotational batches, stenotic measurements/result as applicable.
Identify processes/workflows needed for providing CCTA 3D post processing results.
Recognize and/or create protocols needed for CCTA 3D post processing.
Understand the technologists role using AI in 3DPP to provide accurate results.
The Society of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography (SCCT) is providing 4.25 ASRT Category A CE creditsfor this program. No CE credits will be provided for the Scientific Sessions running concurrently with the Technologist Workshop.
Credit type and counts are subject to change.
Didactic courses
Congenital heart disease forum July 17, 2025 | 12:30 - 5pm Chair: Anjali Chelliah, MD
Cardiovascular computed tomography (CCT) has become an indispensable tool for diagnosis, procedural planning, and long-term surveillance of pediatric and adult patients with congenital heart disease (CHD). Performing CCT imaging in
patients with CHD is an evolving field that combines the knowledge and skill sets of pediatric and adult cardiology and radiology.
A half-day session for pediatric and adult CCT imagers focusing on case-based learning, interactive discussion and recent research pertaining to CCT in CHD.
Learning Objectives: 1. To interpret
challenging CHD cases and discuss technical aspects of performing CCT in these cases, with a focus on platform- and vendor-specific approaches. 2. To explore the current role of CCT in assessing and managing vascular rings. 3. To discuss issues related to developing pediatric and CHD CCT programs, including operational considerations, training pathways and competencies.
