ABOUT THIS VIDEO/DVD
This video/DVD series is designed to provide appropriate protocols for cardiovascular CT and CTA, and to present tips for developing these important aspects of your clinical practice. Lectures start with basic principles and progress to more advanced applications. Cardiac CT and cardiac and body CTA are rapidly growing areas. This course teaches attendees how and when to perform these procedures as well as provide the latest protocols for these procedures. When appropriate, comparisons will be made with other modalities and techniques.
STUDIO ENHANCEMENT
Educational Symposia video/DVD teaching sessions feature a distinctive production process termed Studio Enhancement. The diagnostic images utilized by the faculty for each lecture are reproduced and studio-processed to optimize the display of anatomy and pathology. Each of the teaching slides are integrated into the program. This editing process ensures the video/DVD user the best image quality possible when viewing the diagnostic material. An electronic pointer is included to further reinforce the learning process. This video/DVD teaching program has been produced using broadcast quality digital equipment and editing techniques. All programs are reproduced from digital masters for maximum quality.
TARGET AUDIENCE
This course should benefit physicians interested in the performance and interpretation of cardiovascular CT procedures. The course should also be of benefit to physicians who perform, order and/or interpret cardiovascular CT studies.
EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
Subscribers, at the completion of this video/DVD educational activity, should be able to:
- Recognize the CT appearances of normal anatomy and common pathology
- Utilize the basic principles of CT and CTA to develop appropriate protocols for cardiac/cardiovascular procedures
- Implement newer protocols for Cardiovascular CTA into their clinical practices
- Assess the benefits and pitfalls of CT in the evaluation of cardiac pathology
- Discuss the role of CT in the evaluation of coronary calcification
No special educational preparation is required for this CME activity.
