    July  20, 2023 — The Society of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography (SCCT) is preparing for its 18th Annual Scientific Meeting, SCCT 2023, being held July 27-30 in Boston, MA. Planners with the Arlington, VA-based Society report that the event is designed to engage physicians, trainees, technologists and healthcare professionals in a complete overview of the cardiovascular CT field. Planned sessions targeted for all levels, new practitioners and experienced providers alike, will range from general overviews to state-of-the-art research and expert discussions. Focus areas and program highlights include structural heart disease, congenital heart disease, guidelines and trials, AI/Machine learning, technical aspects of cardiac CT, coronary artery disease, valvular heart disease, debates and games and early career topics. Thursday, July 27 Day one of the SCCT 2023 meeting kicks off with registration and an afternoon session, “Starting a CT service in a variety of practice settings,” which w

    July 20, 2023 — A new expert consensus from the Society of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography (SCCT) offers clinical protocol for cardiovascular computed tomography (CCT) to guide intervention in the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) in patients with congenital heart disease (CHD).  “Technical Recommendations for Computed Tomography Guidance of Intervention in the Right Ventricular Outflow Tract: Native RVOT, Conduits and Bioprosthetic Valves” offers imaging and reporting standards for surgical or transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement (TPVR), including dysfunctional RVOT conduits and bioprosthetic valves, as well as native and patched RVOTs.  The goal of the multi-specialty collaboration of three contributing societies – SCCT, the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Intervention (SCAI), and the Congenital Heart Surgeons’ Society (CHSS) – is to optimize CCT image acquisition, minimize diagnostic risk and standardize reporting to guide pulmonary valve replacement (PVR), a

    “Cardiovascular disease is still the leading cause of death in women, and actually, we are no longer making gains in cardiovascular mortality in both men and women. And the fastest growing death rate is in middle aged women,” Michos said.  She said cardiac computed tomography (CT) calcium scoring is a good way to perform a baseline assessment of the 10-year risk in women for a heart attack. This…

    She said many of these patients also will not qualify for MRI, which is the preferred imaging modality for congenital heart. She said this is often because these patients have MRI incompatible devices implanted such as ICDs or pacemakers. Patients also may have limited access to Cardiac MRI or be claustrophobic. In some instances, cardiac CT may have better spacial resolution than cardiac MR when…

    He was among the experts that led a packed day-long workshop at SCCT on pre-procedural imaging workups on transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and TMVR.  “While TAVR has become commonplace, TAVR has also become a lot more complicated,” Cavalcante said. “Yes, TAVR is straightforward, but now we have expanded indications with bicuspid valves, we have valve-in-valves, and we have post TAVR…
