SUMMARY:Coronary CT Angiography
DESCRIPTION:Coronary CT Angiography\n\nCourse Overview\n\nThis course 
 is designed to optimize your clinical practice skills by providing int
 ense training in interpreting coronary CTA examinations under the supe
 rvision 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 coronary cathe
 ter angiography correlation. The course also covers technical consider
 ations for obtaining optimal examinations for interpretation using sca
 nner simulation technology.\n\nSchedule & Registration\nMember Fee*: $
 4,000.00\nAug. 19-21, 2011 (Fri – Sun)\n\nCourse Directors\n\nAmar S
 hah, MD\nAssistant Professor Radiology, New York Medical College\nDire
 ctor, Cardiac and Vascular MR and CT\n\nJoe Y. Hsu, MD\nKaiser Permane
 nte, Los Angeles\n\nProgram Objectives\n\nAt the conclusion of this co
 nference, 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 clin
 ical importance of variant anatomy\n\n2. Describe basic technical aspe
 cts of coronary CT, including prospective versus retrospective gating,
  single-cycle versus multicycle reconstruction, temporal resolution, s
 patial resolution, scan parameters, and contrast-injection techniques\
 n\n3. Determine appropriate technique for administering beta blockers 
 and nitroglycerin, with knowledge of absolute and relative contraindic
 ations\n\n4. Identify and describe how to improve examinations with ar
 tifacts, such as cardiac arrhythmias, ECG misregistration, and poor br
 eath hold\n\n5. Describe the use of different post-processing techniqu
 es based on the appropriate clinical indication, including axial sourc
 e images, multiplanar reconstructions, maximum intensity projections, 
 and volume-rendered images\n\nAttendees will be awarded a Certificate 
 of Proficiency that includes the number of cases reviewed, which can b
 e attributed to the case requirements specified in the ACR Practice Gu
 ideline for the Performance and Interpretation of Cardiac Computed Tom
 ography.\nRequired Course Materials\n\nIn order to ensure you have a g
 reat experience, we have pulled together material for the CTA course t
 o make sure you are adequately prepared to complete the requirements o
 f this course.\n\n* Members-in-Training fee is 50% off member rate. At
 tendees who register 3 months in advance will receive a $250 discount 
 (Member-In-Training: $125 discount). Late registrations received withi
 n two weeks of the course will be charged an additional $500 (Member-I
 n-Training: additional $250).\n\nFor more information visit https://co
