Learning Objectives
- Apply a structured step-by-step approach to reading Cardiac CT scans, with attention to stenosis assessment, plaque characterization, and evaluation of stents and bypass grafts.
- Understand the principles and clinical applications of functional Cardiac CT
- Recognize the role of cardiac CT and MR in identifying ischemic causes beyond obstructive CAD, including MINOCA and other forms of non-occlusive ischemia.
- Master the differential diagnosis of hypertrophic cardiomyopathies and hypertensive or athletic remodelling using advanced imaging criteria.
- Evaluate modern cardiac imaging approaches to valvular heart disease, integrating CT and MR in pre-operative planning and quantification.
