Curriculum
The program is a hands on, 4-day course offering training and activities on site in our cardiac imaging lab.
Trainees will receive instruction on dedicated workstations. Our course provides a dedicated workstation for each participant for the duration of the course.
Our teaching file consists of CCTA cases representing a wide variety of indications and findings, as well as cath correlation cases. In addition to the 100 CCTA cases reviewed during the week, the participant will have the opportunity to view 25 recorded CCTA studies and live cases done on site.
Participants will attend daily read-out sessions with our cardiac team.
The course curriculum is designed to assist the physician preparing for the CCTA board exam. Study topics include:
- Radiation and Radiation Safety
- CT Fundamentals
- Patient Selection and Preparation
