Toshiba America Medical Systems has formed an educational partnership for cardiac CT training with CVCTA Education and San Francisco Advanced Medical Imaging, a subsidiary of imaging center operator Liberty Pacific Medical Imaging.
The training program curriculum consists of several elements, including hands-on manipulation and reading of cardiac CT images, daily clinical read-out sessions, and online testing applications, according to the companies. It will also offer as many as 64 units of continuing medical education credit.
Tustin, CA-based Toshiba recently installed an Aquilion 64 CFX CT scanner at San Francisco Advanced Medical Imaging.

![Axial images from unenhanced calcium score cardiac CT (left) and curved planar reformation images from CT angiography (right) show that higher long-term exposure to air pollution is associated with greater coronary artery calcium and more obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). Top row: Images in a 68-year-old male patient with higher 10-year mean ambient air pollution exposure (7.9 μg/m3 for particulate matter measuring ≤2.5 μm in diameter [PM2.5] and 17.4 parts per billion [ppb] for NO2) with extensive CAD (coronary artery calcium score [CACS] >1,000 and obstructive CAD [≥70% diameter stenosis]). Bottom row: Images in a 57-year-old female patient with lower 10-year mean ambient air pollution exposure (6.3 μg/m3 for PM2.5 and 4.6 ppb for NO2) with no CAD (CACS = 0 and no obstructive stenosis).](https://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/06/hanneman.r6SMLzkezo.png?auto=format%2Ccompress&dpr=2&fit=crop&h=167&q=70&w=250)
