SCCT - CTA Academy: Training in Coronary CT Angiography for Intermediate and Advanced (20 reviews) Rate this Course
Description: Hands-on training in reviewing and evaluating coronary CT angiography data sets is a most valuable asset to improve skills and experience for clinical applications. Based on the tremendous success of the introductory training courses in 2007, SCCT is offering intensive two-day training courses to improve your cardiac CT reading skills. These courses are directed towards physicians with prior knowledge and experience in cardiac CT. Click here for a brochure.

The course will offer hands-on training and the opportunity for immediate feedback by providing coronary CTA cases and corresponding coronary angiograms. The course is directed towards physicians with at least basic prior exposure to coronary CT angiography who want to improve or refresh their reading and interpretation skills, and also to advanced users who want exposure to difficult cases and thorough evaluation of their reading skills through feedback by invasive angiography.

The course material is selected in a way to cover typical findings, artifacts that can mimic or obscure stenoses, as well as difficult anatomic situations. Each case is selected to highlight a specific teaching point. Participants will have extensive exposure to interpretation of carefully selected coronary CT angiography data sets, including hands-on evaluation of 50 cases (maximum of 2 participants per workstation and at least 15 minutes allocated to each case). Every CTA case will then be reviewed on a large screen followed by viewing of invasive coronary angiography for correlation.

Participants will be able to have these 50 cases count towards the “Minimum Number of Mentored Examinations Interpreted” according to the ACCF/AHA Clinical Competence Statement on Cardiac CT and MR (Budoff et al, JACC 46:2005;383-402), which lists 50 cases of mentored examinations interpreted as a requirement for Level 1 training, 150 cases for Level 2 training, and 300 cases for Level 3 training.

Expert faculty will help with case interpretation and provide useful tips and tricks. Participants will achieve a maximum of 15.25 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits(s)™.
