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\nNov. 11-13, 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\nProgram Objectives\n\nAt the conclusion of this conf
 erence, participants will be able to:\n\n1. Identify normal cardiac an
 atomy, including coronary arteries, coronary veins, cardiac chambers, 
 valves, and great vessels, as well as identify and describe the clinic
 al importance of variant anatomy\n\n2. Describe basic technical aspect
 s of coronary CT, including prospective versus retrospective gating, s
 ingle-cycle versus multicycle reconstruction, temporal resolution, spa
 tial resolution, scan parameters, and contrast-injection techniques\n\
 n3. Determine appropriate technique for administering beta blockers an
 d nitroglycerin, with knowledge of absolute and relative contraindicat
 ions\n\n4. Identify and describe how to improve examinations with arti
 facts, such as cardiac arrhythmias, ECG misregistration, and poor brea
 th hold\n\n5. Describe the use of different post-processing techniques
  based on the appropriate clinical indication, including axial source 
 images, multiplanar reconstructions, maximum intensity projections, an
 d volume-rendered images\n\nAttendees will be awarded a Certificate of
  Proficiency that includes the number of cases reviewed, which can be 
 attributed to the case requirements specified in the ACR Practice Guid
 eline for the Performance and Interpretation of Cardiac Computed Tomog
 raphy.\nRequired Course Materials\n\nIn order to ensure you have a gre
 at experience, we have pulled together material for the CTA course to 
 make sure you are adequately prepared to complete the requirements of 
 this course.\n\n* Members-in-Training fee is 50% off member rate. Atte
 ndees who register 3 months in advance will receive a $250 discount (M
 ember-In-Training: $125 discount). Late registrations received within 
 two weeks of the course will be charged an additional $500 (Member-In-
 Training: additional $250).\n\nFor more information visit https://comm
