- Global Lectures Series Objectives:
- • Provide a standardized foundation for the learning of normal cardiac anatomy and physiology and common anatomic variants.
- • Review the basic principles of cardiac imaging, to include chest radiography and CT, cardiac-gated multi-detector CT (MDCT), and MR imaging.
- • Assess common congenital and acquired heart diseases.
- • Facilitate the recognition and diagnosis of common cardiac diseases, to include associated pulmonary vascular patterns, abnormalities of cardiac size and configuration, pulmonary embolism, non-traumatic acute aortic syndromes, and MDCT evaluation of acute chest pain.
