Workshop Director
Ricardo C. Cury, M.D., FSCCT

Overview and Goal
Utilizing dedicated workstations, physicians will review 50 supervised coronary CTA cases of patients presenting with acute chest pain to the emergency department. Correlation with invasive angiograms and patient outcomes will be provided by expert faculty. The focus will be on best-practice strategies for the use of coronary CTA and triple rule-out CT protocol to properly diagnose, detect and evaluate emergency room patients with acute chest pain or other symptoms suggestive of coronary artery syndrome. After a 1½-day workshop, the symposium will conclude with a three-hour didactic session on coronary imaging. Note: The final session is also the first session of the Twelfth Annual Emergency Radiology Symposium.

The advantages of this course:

Fifty live cases, plus bonus cases, with catheter angiography correlation and case histories, allowing eligibility for level-certification by the ACR or AHA/ACC and for sitting for the CBCCT board exam.
Users can choose from six different workstations (GE, Philips, Siemens, Ziosoft, Vital, Terarecon) in order to mimic their "home" environment.
Users work at their own pace, going through the cases to draw their own conclusions.
Course faculty start at square zero in explaining the case. No question goes unanswered.
Cardiologists will be introduced to all the radiology-based information they need. Radiologists will be introduced to all the cardiology-based information they need. Course faculty includes both cardiologists and radiologists.
World-class faculty. Dr. Cury alone has interpreted over 10,000 coronary CT angiograms, and he is faculty for the cardiac CT board examination course offered by the Society of Cardiovascular
Computed Tomography.
Low faculty-to-student ratio. We will be able to teach at your side, whether it is for a question about the case or about the workstation.

For those starting out in practice or for those already in practices, this course will provide that
much-needed edge in quickly mastering the difficulties in interpreting coronary CT angiography.
