Training in Coronary CT Angiography Interpretation for Intermediate and Advanced Users

The course will offer hands-on training and the opportunity for immediate feedback by providing coronary CTA cases and corresponding coronary angiograms. The course is directed toward physicians with prior exposure to coronary CT angiography who want to improve or refresh their reading and interpretation skills, and also to advanced users who want exposure to difficult cases and thorough evaluation of their reading skills. The course material is selected to cover typical findings, artifacts that can mimic or obscure stenoses, as well as difficult anatomic situations. Each case is selected to highlight a specific teaching point. Participants will have extensive exposure to interpretation of carefully selected coronary CT angiography datasets, including hands-on evaluation of 50 cases. Every CTA case will be reviewed on a large screen followed by viewing of invasive coronary angiography for correlation. Expert faculty will help with case interpretation and provide useful tips and tricks.
