Classic Lectures in Cardiac Imaging

Classic Lectures in Cardiac imaging is a comprehensive review of basic to advanced cardiac imaging procedures. This activity focuses on technique optimization, anatomy, common variants, ischemic and valve disease, plus pre- and post-interventional imaging. In addition, faculty describe important extracardiac findings, modern imaging of acute cardiac syndrome, tips, pitfalls, and case presentations round out the program.

This program is designed to educate physicians who order, perform and interpret cardiac imaging procedures.

Educational Symposia

Physicians: Educational Symposia is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education for physicians.

Educational Symposia designates this enduring material for a maximum of 11.25 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)^TM. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.

SA-CME: Credits awarded for this enduring activity are designated "SA-CME" by the American Board of Radiology (ABR) and qualify toward fulfilling requirements for Maintenance of Certification (MOC) Part II: Lifelong Learning and Self-assessment.

All activity participants are required to take a written or online test in order to be awarded credit. All course participants will also have the opportunity to critically evaluate the program as it relates to practice relevance and educational objectives.

AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)^TM for these programs may be claimed until June 30, 2023.

This CME activity was planned and produced by Educational Symposia, the leader in diagnostic imaging education since 1975.

This CME activity was planned and produced in accordance with the ACCME Essential Areas and Elements.

At the completion of this CME activity, subscribers should be able to:

• Discuss the utility of SPECT/CT and PET/CT when used to evaluate cardiac disease.
• Utilize MRI to evaluate cardiac disease.
• Recognize image findings associated with coronary disease and myocardial infarction.
• Apply state-of-the-art cardiac CTA techniques to clinical practice.
• Discuss recent advancements in cardiac imaging.
• Recognize the imaging appearance of normal cardiovascular anatomy, congenital anomalies and common pathology.
• Assess the benefits and pitfalls of CT/CTA, MRI, SPECT/CT and PET/CT in the evaluation of cardiac pathology.
• Apply imaging algorithms and protocols for the diagnosis and characterization of acute and chronic chest pain including coronary artery disease, cardiomyopathies, aortic disease, and cardiac valvular disease.

No special educational preparation is required for this CME activity
