The Society of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography (SCCT) is highlighting the program for its upcoming annual meeting, to be held from July 18 to 21 in Washington, DC.
The society plans to offer attendees "practical tools to support the exponential rise in the global utilization of cardiovascular CT," it said. The meeting will feature a new program called India Presents, consisting of abstracts from authors from the Indian subcontinent, and joint sessions with the Society of Cardiovascular Angiography Interventions (SCAI) and the American Society of Echocardiography (ASE).
Tracks for personalized learning will include Games and Debates, Technologists, Guidelines & Trials, Fundamentals in Cardiovascular CT, Technical Aspects of Cardiac CT, Structural Heart Disease and Congenital Heart Disease (CHD).
Registration for the meeting can be found here.

The CT image is shown in the axial plane. The PMV is automatically extracted using the developed deep learning model and overlayed onto the lungs for visual clarity.](https://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/03/genkin.25LqljVF0y.jpg?auto=format%2Ccompress&crop=focalpoint&dpr=2&fit=crop&h=167&q=70&w=250)
