Cardiac CT is an online continuing education course for technologists that covers basic principles and advanced techniques of performing a cardiac CT scan. The course provides an overview of cardiac anatomy and physiology, as well as cardiac pathologies. It also focuses on optimization of the image quality to dose ratio and post-processing techniques for cardiac CT imaging.
Cardiac CT is a specialty course for technologists, and is not recommended for students who are just beginning to study the modality. But technologists studying for CT registries and looking for online review materials will find this course helpful.
