CTA: Focus on Peripheral Vascular
Hands-On Case Interpretation
June 1 - 2, 2008
Westin Baltimore Washington Airport
Baltimore, MD

Registration for this course is now closed.

Agenda

Hotel Accommodations

This two-day program will provide intense hands-on computed tomography angiography (CTA) experience as faculty members guide attendees through peripheral vascular cases.  With a limit of two attendees per workstation, attendees will have ample opportunity to participate in the analysis of each case.  Cases will vary in difficulty from basic to advanced, preparing you to recognize a range of scenarios across all vascular beds, including aortic stent grafts.  The course will cover a minimum of 50 mentored cases.

This course will move quickly and is designed for attendees with prior CTA experience.  Minimal time will be spent on basic workstation instruction.

Purpose

This course is designed for cardiologists to develop skills in the interpretation of peripheral vascular CTA.

Objectives

The peripheral vascular course objectives are to enable participants to:

  • Develop new skills for evaluating non-vascular findings
  • Interpret a variety of peripheral images
  • Have a more detailed knowledge of normal and anomalous vascular anatomy

Target Audience

The program is designed specifically for physicians who have experience in coronary CTA and/or the management of patients with peripheral vascular disease and are looking to develop skills in the interpretation of peripheral vascular CTA.  Approximately 50 mentored cases will be provided that can be used toward the ACC/AHA Peripheral Vascular CTA competency criteria.

Prerequisite

Participants should have completed Level 2 training and should be working toward Level 3 training.

Accreditation

The American Society of Nuclear Cardiology is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education to physicians.

CME Credit

ASNC designates this educational activity for a maximum of 14.0 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)TM. Physicians should only claim credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.

Case Credits

The cases in this course will focus on peripheral vascular and do not count toward fulfilling the ACCF/AHA clinical competency guidelines for coronary CTA published in July 2005.  The course will cover a minimum of 50 mentored cases.

Registration Fee

The registration fee for this course is $2,000.  Payment must accompany your registration, and you will receive a confirmation via e-mail.
