Purpose/Desired Learning Outcome
2023 Board Review and Update of Cardiovascular CT Course After participating in this activity, the participants should be better able to describe the principles of cardiovascular CT scanning, acquisition, and image reconstruction to colleagues and members of the cardiovascular CT team. Implement protocols for decreasing radiation dose while maintaining diagnostic image quality to members of the cardiovascular CT team.
Understand the indications, contraindications, capabilities, and limitations of cardiovascular CT in the care of cardiovascular patients. Discuss criteria with colleagues for appropriate selection of patients for cardiovascular CT Identify common pathology that is diagnosed by cardiovascular CT, and distinguish true pathology from artifacts and pitfalls.
