Program Information


Advances in CT and MR technology enable non-invasive imaging of the heart with unparalleled speed and resolution. At the same time more sophisticated imaging technology makes CT and MR scan acquisition more complex and challenging to the user. This activity is devoted to cutting edge cardiac imaging. The faculty is comprised of cardiovascular radiologists and cardiologists from the Medical University of South Carolina, one of the very first sites where cardiac 64-slice, dual-Source CT, dual-energy CT, and, most recently 2nd generation dual-source CT became available. The program is a combination of didactic lectures, introducing the technical principles and clinical applications of cardiac imaging, and practical tutorials for image acquisition, image interpretation, 3D post-processing and dedicated cardiac applications. The activity also includes 50 mentored cardiac CT case interpretations towards ACR/ACC Level I/II credentialing and the opportunity of reviewing 25 video-taped cardiac CT scan acquisitions towards ACR/ACC Level II credentialing.

Objectives


Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:
  • Describe the technical principles of ECG-synchronized cardiac CT using 64-slice CT and Dual-Source CT technology.
  • Describe the principles and applications of cardiac MRI.
  • Utilize techniques and protocols for coronary calcium scoring, coronary CT angiography, dual-energy CT, and general cardiac applications.
  • Discuss the role of cutting edge CT and MR for current and future cardiac applications
  • Apply the principles of cardiac CT and MR image interpretation
  • Fulfill ACR / ACC Level I cardiac CT credentialing requirements. If Level I has already been attained, the mentored review of 50 cases can be used towards ACC Level II credentialing as well as the 25 video-taped cases (Level II credentialing requires observation of a total of 50 patient scan acquisitions of which 25 can be video-taped)
