Product Details

Core didactic lectures are recorded and will be made available before the virtual course, ensuring the maximum time for case review.

The didactic lectures cover:

Patient and scanner setup
Technical principles of multi-slice CT and its application to imaging the heart
Different gating techniques, their advantages and limitations
Image acquisition and reconstruction
Radiation dose inherent in cardiac CT as well as dose reduction strategies.
Contrast injection techniques
Contrast kinetics, administration, contraindications and complications
Cardiac anatomy and physiology as applicable to CT
Techniques of image reconstruction and post-processing
Techniques to minimize and reduce image artefacts
Cardiovascular risk assessment
Current indications and applications of cardiac CT
Cardiac CT interpretation
Anatomy of the heart and thorax

You will see live-recorded cases and discuss interactively the key practical points and pick up tips and tricks to produce the best quality images at the lowest doses. Group size is limited to ensure adequate interaction with the faculty and to optimise the learning experience.
