Cardiac CT case interpretation training
Join the upcoming four-day cardiac CT training course organized by Canon Medical Academy in Amstelveen on Oct 12–15 (four days), from 09:00 to 17:00.
This four-day course provides structured, hands-on training in cardiac CT using more than 150 real clinical cases. The small-group format ensures close interaction with faculty and individualized feedback, while each participant works at a dedicated vendor neutral Vitrea® Advanced Visualization post-processing workstation to support independent image interaction and interpretation.
Under the guidance of Dr. Mark Kon, the course covers coronary CT interpretation and focused lectures on clinical topics including calcium scoring, TAVI assessment and reporting using CADRADS.
The concepts taught are vendor-independent, and only minimal prior experience is required.
Dr. Kon has 10 years of experience teaching cardiologists and radiologists to read axial images and create curved longitudinal sections of coronary arteries using basic computer mouse skills.
Training is delivered in a state-of-the-art education center equipped with the latest CT and post-processing systems, offering an inspiring and relaxed learning environment.
The course is intended for cardiologists and radiologists, and is also suitable for other healthcare professionals, including advanced radiographers and advanced practitioners with an interest in cardiac CT case reading.
Strengthen cardiac CT interpretation and reporting
Taking place at Canon Medical Academy in Amstelveen – a dedicated education center at Canon Medical Systems Europe headquarters equipped with CT and post-processing systems – this four-day course provides a focused setting for practical, case-based training.
Through guided case review, direct faculty interaction, and hands-on use of advanced post-processing tools, the participants can strengthen their approach to cardiac CT interpretation and reporting.
Its small-group format supports close discussion, individualized feedback, and a more immersive learning experience. By combining structured teaching with case-based practice, the course helps participants develop a more confident and systematic approach to image review, reporting, and diagnostic decision-making.
