The CT Angiography course is a comprehensive course focused on reading and performing CT Coronary Angiography through a case-based mentored approach. The Minneapolis Heart Institute has one of the largest CTA experiences world-wide. Sheer volume of experience has helped these physicians hone the accuracy of their scan readings and has put them in demand as international CTA expert resources. They are intimately involved in setting the national standards for coronary CT lab accreditation and physician credentialing, and in developing an international board exam to ensure that reading physicians are appropriately trained to interpret coronary CT angiography.
