Siemens in collaboration with Fortis Escorts Heart Institute (FEHI) and Society of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography SCCT (USA) will organise a hands-on training programme in Coronary CT Angiography Interpretation. The programmes will be held at Fortis Escorts Heart Institute in New Delhi from August 24-25, 2016 and August 26-27, 2016.
This is the third consecutive year of the International Cardiac CT Course in India by Siemens and FEHI with four programmes conducted over the last two years.
Dr Mona Bhatia, Head of Department, Radiodiagnosis and Imaging at Fortis Escorts Heart Institute, New Delhi will conduct the training programme. The course includes a new set of 50 Coronary CT Angiography cases with a wide range of difficulty levels. The two-day training course with expert facility will improve the user’s cardiovascular CT reading skills through personal hands-on training at their dedicated workstations, with immediate feedback through invasive coronary angiography for every case. The training will provide in-depth understanding of cardiac CT guidelines, image acquisition and processing, post-processing and interpretation of datasets, coronary artery stenosis, artifacts detection, limitations and radiation dose.
Vivek Kanade, Executive Director, Siemens Healthcare explains, “Being the innovation leader in diagnostic imaging, Siemens takes immense pleasure to get associated with this platform. Imparting enhanced knowledge is a major pillar of our dedication to enable our customers to provide quality healthcare. With the increasing incidences in CVD, the need for accurate and early diagnosis becomes imperative. We are hopeful that this edition will be equally successful as the earlier ones.”
