Cardiovascular Imaging 2026
What to expect
This course provides fundamental knowledge and practical insights into cardiovascular imaging.
It is tailored to residents and young radiologists (ETC Levels I–II), focusing on the essentials of coronary CT and cardiac MR in ischemic and non-ischemic disease.
A clear stepwise approach will guide participants from anatomy to pathology, with emphasis on structured reporting and common pitfalls.
The Foundation Courses are perfect for you to prepare for the EDiR, catch up on the newest insights, and boost your career!
Following the European Training Curriculum levels I-II, the full package covers all subspecialties, with new updates coming out annually, so you are always up-to-date.
Our Foundation Courses always include at least six lectures consisting of 40 minutes of theory and case presentations followed by a live Q&A section, so you can get the expert view on every topic.
All Foundation Courses are available live and on-demand for Premium Education Package subscribers.
