FUNCTIONAL CT IMAGING OF CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE–CT MYOCARDIAL PERFUSION AND CT-DERIVED FRACTIONAL FLOW RESERVE WORKSHOP Thursday July 6, 2017 8:00 am – 5:30 pm


NEW


Expert faculty use a combination of didactics and hands-on workstation review to learn the basic principles of interpreting myocardial CT perfusion imaging. Participants will have access to a workstation to gain experience in manipulating and interpreting coronary CT angiography and myocardial CT perfusion with comparisons


of CT results to reference standards such as invasive angiography, SPECT, and FFR. The workshop will include cases with reversible ischemia, myocardial infarction, and prior coronary intervention. Attendees will earn case credits for coronary CTA and perfusion imaging. Space is limited…register today!

CONGENITAL HEART DISEASE AND CARDIOVASCULAR CT WORKSHOP Thursday July 6, 2017 8:00 am – 5:00 pm


The population of adults with congenital heart disease (CHD) is growing exponentially as a result of improved outcomes of medical, surgical, and catheter-based treatment strategies. As CHD patients live longer, there is a greater need for high resolution coronary imaging in addition to anatomic imaging, increased use of electrophysiology devices that are MRI unsafe, and higher prevalence of metallic implants that adversely affect MRI image quality. For these patients, CT is increasingly the preferred advanced imaging modality. CT in CHD combines the knowledge and skill sets of both pediatric and adult cardiology and radiology physicians.


An educational platform focused specifically on the use of CT in patients with CHD does not exist. The Congenital Heart Disease and Cardiovascular CT Workshop was developed to fill this educational gap within the field of cardiology and radiology. Designed for adult cardiovascular imagers, this introductory workshop will use a workstation and case-based approach to discuss optimal acquisition and interpretation of CT scans in CHD. This educational program will focus specifically on the use of CT in adult patients with CHD including: Patient selection and preparation, scan acquisition, and scan interpretation. Space is limited…register today!
