CT in endocarditis: A practical hands-on workshop | Wednesday 5 Feb | 8:00 - 12:00 In this workshop participants will obtain hands-on experience with reading a variety of cardiac CT scans of patients with (suspected) endocarditis. Participants will learn how to reconstruct the required imaging planes, identify characteristic CT findings in endocarditis, recognize pitfalls and artefacts and integrate CT findings with those of other imaging modalities. Case types will range from simple native valve endocarditis to complex cases of prosthetic valve and device endocarditis.
CCTA-guided interventional procedures hands-on workshop | Wednesday 5 Feb | 13:00 - 17:00 Join us for a cutting-edge workshop dedicated to advancing your skills in coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA)-guided interventional procedures. This comprehensive program is designed for cardiologists, radiologists, and healthcare professionals looking to enhance their knowledge of CCTA and its role in guiding complex coronary interventions.
Deep learning for cardiac CT analysis | Wednesday 5 Feb | 13:00 - 17:00 This workshop is intended for radiologists and cardiologists at the beginner and intermediate levels with an interest in starting or intensifying the use of deep learning in their clinical research. The workshop will introduce basic concepts, recent developments, common pitfalls and unresolved challenges in the application of deep learning in medical image analysis. Specifically, the workshop will introduce concepts of different AI methodologies used in the analysis of cardiac CT as well as upcoming AI technology that is expected to further transform the field.
“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 the Netherlands in February 2025.”
