The objective of the course is to provide comprehensive training towards Level 2 certification as per the recommendation of SCCT (Society of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography), BSCI (British Society of Cardiovascular Imaging), and EACVI (European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging). SCCT is the US-based Cardiovascular CT professional body while BSCI is a UK based Cardiovascular professional society providing best practice guidance and standards for performing Cardiac CT. EACVI is part of the European Society of Cardiology and sets standards for training in nuclear cardiology and cardiac CT.
The course is geared towards medical professionals such as radiologists, cardiologists, nuclear physicians who wish to independently practice cardiac CT.
