Course Description
This Course can help you achieve your CME requirements for SCCT and NACSI verification programs, and also includes video cases (Category B1) to help fulfill your SCCT Contrast CT case requirement.
Ischemic heart disease remains a common cause of mortality in the western world, and Cardiac CT is being utilized more in the evaluation of patients with this disease. Join Dr. Brian Ghoshhajra (Massachusetts General Hospital) as he provides framework and concepts associated with Cardiac CT for evaluation, as well as his approach and interpretation of coronary CT in patients with known coronary artery disease. With this framework, you will be able to work through complex cases and apply key learning points to your own practice.
Dr. Ghoshhajra also gives an overview of CABG anatomy and common patterns, stent terminology and anatomy, invasive coronary angiography, CAD-RADs, and reporting guidelines
Read alongside Dr. Ghoshhajra as he walks through his approach to using Cardiac CT in the evaluation of patients with:
- Moderate stenosis
- CABG: arterial and venous grafts
- Myocardial scarring
- Pseudoaneurysm
- Left main coronary artery disease
- Complex stenosis
- …and more!
Optimize your learning:
- Test Yourself - Before starting the video, launch the DICOM study and complete your independent review of the case in our diagnostic web viewer.
- Review at your own pace - Reminder to utilize the video player features to speed up or slow down the video, pause or rewind to best fit your available time and learning needs.
- Read alongside Dr. Ghoshhajra - Keep the DICOM study open while you watch Dr. Ghoshhajra review the cases. We suggest popping the DICOM viewer open in a new window and viewing side by side with the video on your screen.
