Program Objectives:
The primary objectives for this course are to enable participants to:
- Describe methods to reduce radiation dose to patients who are having cardiac imaging tests
- Understand the application of the ACC/ASNC Appropriate Use Criteria to reduce radiation while maintaining quality using established technology
- Review and understand best practice for radiation reduction using novel technologies
- Evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of imaging modalities by reviewing case presentations including:
- A variety of prone imaging cases
- Interesting case of unusual nuclear imaging
- Interesting cases of PET showing coronary flow reserve
Tentative Program:
1) Radiation dose in cardiac imaging: the scope of the issue
2) Case presentation: Wide-beam reconstruction technology and prone imaging cases of teaching value
3) Reducing radiation while maintaining quality using novel technologies
4) Identify the Problem: Case examples
5) Moderation of Case Presentations
6) Moderation of Case Presentations: Interesting cases in the use of PET coronary flow reserve by Dr. Matt Taylor from University of Missouri, Kansas City
7) Question and Answer Period
Survey and Evaluation:
All learners will be asked to complete a brief survey prior to the program and after the program to identify how the gaps in their understanding of standards of care especially with regard to radiation safety were narrowed.
Registration is complimentary, but in order to guarantee availability attendees must pre-register. Register today!
