SUMMARY:Coronary CT Angiography
DESCRIPTION:Coronary CT Angiography\n\nSchedule & Registration\nFeb. 1
 8-20, 2011 (Fri – Sun)\nMember Fee*: $4,000.00\n\nCourse Overview\n\
 nThis course is designed to optimize your clinical practice skills by 
 providing intense training in interpreting coronary CTA examinations u
 nder the supervision of expert faculty. Participants use workstations 
 with the same vendor software as in their own practice and have access
  to over 150 cases. Most cases include clinical scenarios as well as c
 oronary catheter angiography correlation. The course also covers techn
 ical considerations for obtaining optimal examinations for interpretat
 ion using scanner simulation technology. Preparation material for this
  course can be found here. (registration required)\n\nCourse Directors
 \n\nAmar Shah, MD\nAssistant Professor Radiology, New York Medical Col
 lege\nDirector, Cardiac and Vascular MR and CT\n\nJoe Y. Hsu, MD\nKais
 er Permanente, Los Angeles\n\nProgram Objectives\nAt the conclusion of
  this conference, participants will be able to:\n\n1. Identify normal 
 cardiac anatomy, including coronary arteries, coronary veins, cardiac 
 chambers, valves, and great vessels, as well as identify and describe 
 the clinical importance of variant anatomy\n\n2. Describe basic techni
 cal aspects of coronary CT, including prospective versus retrospective
  gating, single-cycle versus multicycle reconstruction, temporal resol
 ution, spatial resolution, scan parameters, and contrast-injection tec
 hniques\n\n3. Determine appropriate technique for administering beta b
 lockers and nitroglycerin, with knowledge of absolute and relative con
 traindications\n\n4. Identify and describe how to improve examinations
  with artifacts, such as cardiac arrhythmias, ECG misregistration, and
  poor breath hold\n\n5. Describe the use of different post-processing 
 techniques based on the appropriate clinical indication, including axi
 al source images, multiplanar reconstructions, maximum intensity proje
 ctions, and volume-rendered images\n\nAttendees will be awarded a Cert
 ificate of Proficiency that includes the number of cases reviewed, whi
 ch can be attributed to the case requirements specified in the ACR Pra
 ctice Guideline for the Performance and Interpretation of Cardiac Comp
 uted Tomography.\n\nRequired Course Materials\n\nIn order to ensure yo
 u have a great experience, we have pulled together material for the CT

 irements of this course.\n\n* Members-in-Training fee is 50% off membe
