Society of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography (SCCT) 12th Annual Scientific Meeting 2017
In-Person Event
Jul 06 - 09, 2017
District of Columbia, Washington, USA
OVERVIEW
Society of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography (SCCT) 12th Annual Scientific Meeting is organized by Society of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography (SCCT) and would be held during Jul 6 - 9, 2017 at Washington Marriott Marquis, District of Columbia, Washington, United States of America.
The target audience for this medical event are Cardiologists, Radiologists, Technologists & Nurses, Fellows & Residents, Medical Students, Practice Administrators, Emergency Department Physicians. This CME conference has been approved with a maximum of 24.50 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits.
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the United States and imposes an ever increasing burden on health care systems. Rapidly changing technology and the criteria for its use continue to be at the forefront in the diagnosis and treatment of patients presenting with possible cardiovascular disease.
Objectives
Participants Should be able to :
• Discuss with colleagues the parameters which result in maximum image quality while minimizing radiation exposure during cardiovascular CT
• Identify potential common image artifacts which contribute to inappropriate analysis of cardiovascular CT scans
• Determine when an alternative imaging method would improve the diagnosis of a specific cardiovascular anomaly
• Critically evaluate those data which indicate potential applications of cardiovascular CT in other patient studies
• Evaluate the emerging research in cardiovascular CT to determine its possible role in changing the current evidence-based protocols or stimulating additional research
• Discuss the appropriate use of cardiovascular CT with colleagues and patients
