Course Description
MRI Online is pleased to bring you this important new Mastery Course on the Principles of Cardiac CT to help you gain a better understanding of the indications, protocols, and optimal acquisition of Coronary CTA.
This Course can help you fulfill your CME requirements for SCCT and NACSI verification programs, and also includes 5 video cases (Category B1) aligned with SCCT Contrast CT case requirements.
The instructor of this course, Dr. Saurabh Jha (University of Pennsylvania), is a practicing cardiovascular radiologist who specializes in advanced cardiac imaging. Dr. Jha is a Level 3 trained practitioner in Cardiac CT.
Join Dr. Jha as he reviews essential principles behind coronary imaging, including indications, protocols, and acquisition concepts such as pitch and resolution. Dr. Jha also provides a practical, non-technical series on physics that will help you learn how to get optimal vessel opacification and resolution, as well as everything a radiologist needs to know about cardiac medications and contrast injection techniques for coronary CTA.
Dr. Jha will walk you through coronary and cardiac anatomy and his overall case approach using real-world DICOM cases. Watch as he translates the principles of Cardiac CT to practical tips while he scrolls through case examples including:
- Aortic valve motion in pre-TAVR setting
- Anomalous coronary artery
- ALCAPA
- …and more!
Optimize your learning and review at your own pace by utilizing the video player features to speed up or slow down the video, pause or rewind to best fit your available time and learning needs.
After you’re done, check out these additional Cardiac Imaging Mastery Courses for further in-depth case review:
