Cardiovascular CT Imaging: Intensive Level II Training Course and Introduction to 3D Vascular Angiog

Multiple approaches to evaluation of cardiovascular CT studies exist with varying accuracy depending on the type of workstation, type of scanner, referral population, patient selection, and training mentor preferences. Few courses offer an algorithmic, comprehensive approach to interpretation and offer coronary cath/ IVUS, echo, and MRI correlations or review extra-cardiac thoracic interpretation or the application of CTA to peripheral angiography.Many clinical CT coronary imaging programs have no ongoing internal cath correlation programs for quality assurance.
Sentara Heart Hospital and Cardiovascular Associates, Ltd. have joined together to design a comprehensive course to provide a unified educational program based on the standards co-developed by the ACC and SCCT.

A distinguished faculty will conduct a five day program acquiring and interpreting cardiovascular CT angiographic studies in a focused environment offering (1) an algorithmic, comprehensive approach to interpretation of up to 210 studies, with emphasis on elimination of interpretation errors (2) invasive angiographic correlations for most cases (3) instruction in extra-cardiac thoracic interpretation, and (4) instruction in CT peripheral angiography and MRA angiography.
