ABOUT THE DVD CME PACK
With the purchase of an entire DVD series, at full purchase price (does not include CME), you may order as many DVD CME Packs as you wish at a significantly reduced price. This will allow each participating physician to own his/her set of DVDs to view at their convenience and keep as personal reference material.
Each DVD CME Pack will contain:
- CME application and test
- A syllabus (included but is not enclosed the the DVD CME Case)
- A complete set of DVDs in a convenient to carry case designed for durability and ease of access. The cost of this convenient DVD CME Pack is priced to make it a practical alternative to "waiting in line" to receive the next DVD.
If original order was placed previous to ordering this package, please advise who placed the original order in the Order Comments field of the check-out page. This package will be sent to the address of the original order.
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 subscribers 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.
TARGET AUDIENCE
This CME activity should benefit physicians interested in the performance and interpretation of cardiovascular CT procedures. The CME activity should also be of benefit to physicians who perform, order, and/or interpret cardiovascular CT studies.
EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
At the completion of this video/DVD CME series, subscribers should be able to:
- Recognize the CT appearance of normal anatomy and common pathology
- Apply the principles of CT and CTA for the diagnosis of cardiovascular disease
- Implement appropriate protocols for cardiac procedures into clinical practice
- Integrate into clinical practice the use of CT and CTA for the detection and diagnosis of pediatric heart disease
- Assess the benefits and pitfalls of CT in the evaluation of cardiac pathology
No special educational preparation is required for this CME activity.

This video/DVD series was planned and produced by Educational Symposia, the leader in diagnostic imaging education since 1975.
This video/DVD series was planned and produced in accordance with the ACCME Essential Areas and Elements.
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.
