Radicon Institute of Radiology is excited to offer long-awaited, state-of-the-art Hands-on Advanced Cardiovascular CT Angiogram Course towards Level 2 Cardiac CT here in Dubai.COURSE DESCRIPTION:
A five days intensive course with international faculty of Cardiac Computed Tomography (CT) with cardiology and radiology expertise are present throughout the courses to teach and provide mentored case reviews. The emphasis of the course is to deliver high-quality education and innovative learning techniques. Each participant has his/her own workstation to review the cases on. Courses are designed in line with the Society of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography’s (SCCT) curriculum.
COURSE AIM:
Basic understanding and information about CT physics, requirements and dynamics of contrast, cardiac CT acquisition fundamentals, and finally medication to enhance image quality and case reporting.
To offer advanced information about scanner settings to enhance image quality and reduce radiation burden.
To get familiar with the software.
Checklist technique for interpretation of images with a systematic review for detecting coronary vessel stenosis and plaque.
Awareness of the limitations of cardiac CT with an understanding of artefacts and pitfalls,
CTA -angiography correlation, and review of extracardiac abnormalities.
Reporting of 100 – 150 cardiac CTA’s that can count as part of your case numbers for SCCT registration.
