Educational Symposia is constantly exploring ways to better serve our customers. Subscribers of our DVD CME teaching programs asked for a simpler way to share a DVD Teaching Program. We listened and are excited to introduce the DVD CME Pack.

Here's how it works. Purchase the original DVD teaching program then order as many DVD CME Packs as needed at a significantly reduced price. It really is that simple!

Educational Symposia's innovative DVD CME Packs allow each participating physician to own his/her set of DVDs. Having their own set provides the opportunity to view at their convenience and add to their personal reference library. DVD CME Packs are priced to make it a practical alternative to "waiting in line" to receive the next DVD.

Each DVD CME Pack contains:

• An entire set of DVDs in a convenient case designed for durability and ease of access
• One CME application and test
• A one or two volume syllabus (depending on the series). Syllabus is included in the purchase price but is not enclosed in the DVD CME case.

See order form to order a DVD CME Pack for this series. To order a DVD CME Pack for a previously purchased DVD teaching program, visit us online at www.edusymp.com, call toll free (800) 338-5901.

Multiple CME Subscribers......

Educational Symposia DVD Teaching Programs are accredited for AMA PRA Category 1 Credits^TM for three years from the original release date. Once the initial order is placed, the number of CME applications and/or DVD CME Packs that can be ordered is limitless. Simply call (800) 338-5901 or access our website at www.edusymp.com and reference the name of the person or facility of the originating order. See order form for pricing.

Cardiovascular CT and CTA procedures are continually changing. This DVD teaching program provides an in-depth look into important aspects of cardiac and peripheral vascular imaging protocols. Beginning with the basics, this program will progress into more advanced applications and provide tips on image optimization. New this year is a review of the basic fundamentals and principles of CT imaging and post processing, a primer for anyone interested in advancing toward certification in Cardiovascular CT. Speakers will discuss state-of-the-art protocols, post processing, and tips on reducing radiation dose. When appropriate, comparisons will be made with other modalities and techniques.

This CME activity 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.

At the completion of this DVD CME series, subscribers should be able to:

• Recognize the CT appearance of normal cardiovascular anatomy, congenital anomalies and common pathology.
• Apply the principles of CT/CTA for the diagnosis of cardiovascular disease.
• Implement appropriate protocols for cardiac and peripheral CTA procedures into clinical practice.
• Assess the benefits and pitfalls of CT/CTA in the evaluation of cardiac pathology.
• Describe current methods used to reduce overall radiation dose during cardiovascular and peripheral CT/CTA examinations.
• Summarize the fundamentals of CT/CTA imaging and post processing.

No special educational preparation is required for this CME activity.
