Advanced Cardiac Imaging Interpretation
You'll be able to choose the appropriate cardiac imaging modality for a given clinical question and interpret CT angiography, cardiac MRI, and nuclear cardiology findings with confidence.
What this track covers
This track covers the core physics, appropriate use criteria, and interpretation skills for coronary CT angiography, cardiac MRI, and nuclear cardiology studies. It's built for clinicians who order or review these studies and need to connect imaging findings to next steps in patient management.
What you will practice
- Match a clinical scenario to the most appropriate imaging modality using current appropriate use criteria
- Distinguish normal coronary anatomy from significant stenosis on CT angiography
- Recognize patterns of myocardial ischemia and viability on cardiac MRI
- Interpret perfusion and wall motion findings on nuclear cardiology studies
- Translate imaging findings into a clinical management plan
Simulator scenario
A patient with atypical chest pain and intermediate pretest probability presents for imaging workup, requiring the clinician to select a modality, interpret results, and decide on next steps.
Board question topics
- Appropriate use criteria for cardiac imaging modalities
- CT angiography interpretation of coronary stenosis
- Cardiac MRI patterns of ischemia and viability
- Nuclear perfusion defect interpretation
