Cardiac CT and MRI Imaging
Read and reason through coronary CTA, calcium scoring, and cardiac MRI studies to identify coronary artery disease, cardiomyopathies, and structural heart abnormalities.
What this track covers
This track covers cardiac anatomy, coronary anatomy and normal variants, and the imaging protocols used for coronary CTA, calcium scoring, and cardiac MRI. It focuses on recognizing common pathology and structuring findings into a clinically useful report.
What you will practice
- Trace coronary artery anatomy and identify normal variants on CTA
- Apply a standard reporting framework to coronary CTA findings
- Differentiate cardiomyopathy patterns on cardiac MRI
- Identify structural abnormalities such as valve and chamber findings
- Structure a cardiac imaging report around pertinent positives and negatives
Simulator scenario
A patient presenting for evaluation of chest pain undergoes coronary CTA, and the clinician must work through the imaging findings to formulate an assessment and next steps.
Board question topics
- Coronary artery anatomy and variants
- Cardiac MRI sequence selection and interpretation
- Cardiomyopathy imaging patterns
- Structured reporting for coronary CTA findings
