LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Understand the fundamentals of cardiac CT imaging, including anatomy, patient preparation, contraindications, technical principles, contrast media usage, and radiation dose reduction.
  • Develop a structured approach to diagnosing and managing coronary artery disease, focusing on stenosis, plaque characterization, and ischemia in chronic and acute syndromes.
  • Apply cardiac CT in clinical scenarios such as chronic coronary syndromes, acute chest pain, structural heart disease, and post-intervention follow-ups (PCI and CABG).
  • Explore advanced cardiac CT techniques, including FFR, perfusion, and other emerging technologies.
  • Enhance diagnostic and analytical skills through case-based discussions on anatomy, anomalies, stenosis evaluation, and treatment strategies.
