This is a workstation-based training acti vity, designed to meet American College of Cardiology/American Heart A ssociation Level II and III requirements. Each participant has their o wn workstation to use throughout the activity and receives personal at tention and instruction by the activity faculty. A workstation, which projects to the front of the room is used by instructors to demonstrat e various aspects of CT interpretation. After receiving training on th e use of the workstation, a case library of over 150 cases selected to demonstrate the variety of pathology, which can be evaluated by CT (c oronary disease, bypass grafts, stents, anomalies, cardiomyopathies, E P, pericardial disease, cardiac tumors) is reviewed. A minimum of 100 cases is reviewed during the five days of the activity.\n\nTwenty hour s of didactic instruction is included through lectures and reading mat erials, which will cover topics of patient selection, preparation, rad iation, contrast, cardiac anatomy, assessment of cardiac function, car diac pathology, etc. Members of the Johns Hopkins faculty and guest fa culty will present these topics. Participants will take a quiz to conf irm understanding of these materials.\n\nThe requirement for observati on of the acquisition of 50 studies is satisfied by utilizing a combin ation of onsite observation of approximately 25 studies supplemented b y interactive observation of approximately 25 studies performed offsit e and viewed by interactive video link. Participants will have the opp ortunity to ask questions during acquisition of the studies (i.e., pat ient selection, use of beta blockers) and to observe the steps in obta ining the scan by direct observation of the scanner console. The 50 sc ans that were acquired during the week of the activity are anonymized and participants will interpret these studies on their own time follow ing the five days of onsite training. After faculty review of the part icipants’ interpretation of these 50 studies and the other elements of the activity, a certificate documenting completion of the Level II and III requirements will be issued.\n\nWHO SHOULD ATTEND\n\nThis acti vity is intended for physicians including cardiologists and radiologis ts who are currently in practice or are in fellowship, seeking Level I I competency training. For those who have already qualified for Level II, this added experience will meet the case requirements for Level II .\n\nOBJECTIVES\nAfter attending this activity, the participant will d emonstrate the ability to:\n\n• Choose patients appropriate for this imaging modality\n• Prepare patients to obtain optimal study result s\n• Optimize image reconstruction for cardiac analyses\n• Use 3D workstation to visualize all aspects of cardiac anatomy\n• Assess ex tent of coronary atherosclerosis and evaluate LV function\n\nACCREDITA TION STATEMENT\n\nThe Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine is a ccredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Educatio n to provide continuing medical education for physicians.\n\nCREDIT DE SIGNATION STATEMENT\n\nThe Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine designates this educational activity for a maximum of 41 AMA PRA Cate gory 1 Credits™. Physicians should only claim credit commensurate wi th the extent of their participation in the activity.\n\nFor more info rmation visit https://community.radrounds.com/events/cardiac-ct-practi cum-the-total-4 DTSTART:20110509T040000Z DTEND:20110514T035900Z CATEGORIES:course LOCATION:Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center WEBSITE:http://www.hopkinscme.edu/CourseDetail.aspx/80024292%20MY URL:http://www.hopkinscme.edu/CourseDetail.aspx/80024292%20MY CONTACT:410-550-0845 ORGANIZER:Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine ATTACH;FMTTYPE="image/jpeg": ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="radRound s Radiology Events":https://community.radrounds.com/profile/radRoundsR adiologyEvents END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
