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. 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. Invited FacultyRandall C.
