Description
During the fellowship we will explore key aspects of cardiac CT and cardiac MR image interpretation, focusing on the identification of crucial findings in ischemic pathology, cardiomyopathies, valvular diseases, congenital heart diseases and cardiac tumours.
Through the discussion of practical cases, participants will learn to recognize and analyze the different radiological findings, also developing skills necessary for adequate acquisition of cardiac CT and MR images. Additionally, guidance will be provided on how to clearly and concisely articulate findings in radiology reports, ensuring effective communication with clinicians and thus contributing to the clinical decision-making process.
TMC Academy's online fellowships are held in a virtual classroom on Zoom. Participants are encouraged to engage in discussions using their camera and microphone to recreate the face-to-face experience. In this small group environment among your peers, you are free to ask questions, make mistakes, and learn together with the support of Prof. Pineda. Online sessions are recorded so that participants can review on their own time following the training.
