It will focus of guiding the participants though a wide range of cases with ‘hands on’ instruction and interaction. Topics will include principles of CT image acquisition and optimization, how to cope with artefacts and how to deal with challenging patients including high heart rates, high BMI, challenging rhythms and those with high extensive calcified plaque and stents. In addition to cases focusing on the coronaries, a wide range of other conditions and pathologies will be included including evaluation of cardiac masses, pericardial disease, valvular and aortic pathology and important extra-cardiac conditions.
