Discounted fee for EACVI Silver Members and FEACVI

Organiser: European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging (EACVI)
Topic: Cardiac Computed Tomography (CT)

AUDIENCE

The course is designed for trainees and consultants, either cardiologists or radiologists that are interested to learn practical skills in CCT.

PROGRAMME

The programme encompasses a mix of interactive lectures, mock exam questions followed by interactive review with the faculty, as well as heavily hands-on practical with image analysis sessions on dedicated workstations performed directly by attendees.

It also includes the review of a number of clinical cases that will be certified and contribute to the logbook of cases to submit for ESC CCT certification.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

During this course, participants will:

  • Acquire knowledge about cardiac computed tomography scanner physics, image acquisition techniques, premedication, administration of iodinated contrast media
  • Get familiar with image artefacts and learn techniques on how to avoid them
  • Gain hands-on experience with image post-processing and interpretation
  • Learn how to assess coronary stenosis and atherosclerotic plaques
  • Learn about the prognostic value of coronary calcium score and coronary CTA
  • Understand the correlation between coronary CT angiography and invasive coronary angiography • Learn functional coronary artery disease assessment techniques and when and how to use them (perfusion imaging, FFRCR)
  • Interpret cases with congenital heart disease
  • Acquire knowledge about CT imaging of structural heart disease
  • Learn how to use CT for structural and coronary heart disease intervention planning
