The upcoming meeting will focus on innovation in cardiovascular CT, while combining original scientific contributions and clinically oriented lectures divided into focused sessions covering a variety of subjects.
Leading experts in the field of cardiovascular CT and cardiovascular medicine from around the globe will discuss the current state of cardiovascular CT and the role it will play in 2023 and beyond. Topics will include broadening clinical application, updates on technical optimization and discussion of current and future innovation and research in this rapidly evolving field.
SCCT Global 2024 | Budapest will explore all aspects of cardiovascular CT, including debates on areas of contention, with the aim of informing and educating participants on cardiovascular CT's strengths, weaknesses, and increasing clinical indications.
A two-day CTA academy for beginners will be held prior to the main meeting. Additional registration is required.
An interesting exhibition of innovative devices as well as from other medical companies will be presented in the exhibit hall within the convention site.
We welcome you to submit your abstracts and join us at this exciting conference combining high quality lectures, original research, innovative technologies in a unique and friendly scientific atmosphere.
We do hope that you will take the opportunity to participate in this esteemed scientific meeting and look forward to welcoming you to a wonderful visit to Hungary in January 2024.

PRE-COURSE
CTA Academy: Beginners course | SOLD OUT
Tuesday 16 Jan - Wednesday 17 Jan
Additional registration required. The CTA Academy is sold out; waitlist available.
This two-day training course with expert faculty provides a unique opportunity to improve cardiovascular CT reading skills through personal hands-on training on workstations with 50 cases. The course material is selected to cover typical findings and
artifacts that can mimic or obscure stenoses, as well as difficult anatomic situations. Cases are selected to highlight specific teaching points. Participants will have extensive exposure to interpretation of carefully selected coronary CT angiography
datasets, including hands-on evaluation of coronary CTA cases acquired by photon-counting detector CT (maximum of 2 participants per workstation and at least 15 minutes allocated to each case). In addition, attendees will be introduced to the basics
of interpreting cardiac CT cases performed for transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) planning.
Participants will be able to have these 50 cases count towards the "Minimum Number of Mentored Examinations Interpreted" according to
the ACCF/AHA Clinical Competence Statement on Cardiac CT and MR (Budoff et al, JACC 46:2005;383-402), which lists 50 cases of mentored examinations interpreted as a requirement for Level 1 training, 150 cases for Level 2 training, and 300 cases for
Level 3 training.
Learning objectives:
- Understand how to interpret scans, artifacts, relevance of image interpretation to clinical utility
- Discuss and implement protocols for decreasing radiation dose while maintaining diagnostic image quality
- Understand the indications, contraindications, capabilities, and limitations of cardiovascular CT

Travel
The city centre and its historic districts are best explored on foot. However, the city is also very well connected by public transport. There are over 200 bus, 32 tram, 15 trolley and 4 metro lines, while the suburbs can be easily reached by suburban trains (HÉV) and you can even take a boat along the beautiful River Danube in nice weather.
Budapest’s only airport, Liszt Ferenc International Airport is 40 minutes from the city centre. Budapest Airport is the second largest airport in the newest EU member states. There are various easy ways to continue your journey to the city centre, including by taxi or public transport:
We recommend you always choose the airport’s official partner, Főtaxi, the oldest taxi company in the country (founded in 1913). All cars accept card payment. Further information: www.fotaxi.hu.
MiniBUD is the official airport shuttle bus service provider for Budapest Airport, offering comfortable and fast transfer solutions for passengers wishing to travel from the airport to Budapest’s various districts and from the city to the airport. Further information: www.minibud.hu.
