Cardiac CTA Curriculum

Dr Matthew Budoff, MD (Harbor UCLA) understands how important it is for doctors to find the right Cardiovascular CT Angiography (CCTA) training course at a reasonable price.  Our faculty members are experienced Level 3 CTA instructors, who designed our courses to meet or exceed the ACC / AHA / ACR competency requirements (COCATS Task Force 13).  You will find a diverse curriculum bringing real world experiences and clinical applications with a wide variety of cases ranging from mild to very extensive pathology. Designed for cardiologists, radiologists and fellows, our courses will cover all of the didactic topics including CT physics, CT image analysis, recognizing CT artifacts, how CT scanners work, using the 3D workstation, patient management, optimal reconstruction phase for analysis, electrophysiology, cardiac function, coronary calcium, plague analysis, bypass grafts, stents, incidental non cardiac findings, perfusion analysis, cath correlations and ER applications.  Upon course completion, you'll be confident in your improved CTA skills that should enhance your practice.  Take a look at some of our testimonials.
