Summary of Cardiac CT Principles

Thanks for listening to the course.

0:02

My personal philosophy with cardiac CT is that it's

0:07

more important or just as important to understand

0:10

the acquisition, the physics, a little bit of

0:12

historical development, because believe it or not,

0:14

the pathology is quite easy to appreciate.

0:18

So, as you're going through the modules, I think it's

0:22

a good idea to read a little bit on the history of

0:27

development of CT, how we got to where we got to, um,

0:31

a little bit about how ECG synchronization works and

0:38

um, just really the technical elements, because, um,

0:43

in, you know, in terms of the actual clinical,

0:45

you know, we're talking about stenosis, not stenosis.

0:48

It's, um, it's not as, it's not as difficult as other areas of

0:50

16 00:00:52,565 --> 00:00:52,845 um,

0:53

of the body.

0:56

I guess everybody would say that about their

0:57

own, but yes, I think that the, and the

1:00

acquisition, uh, also has a nice, um, gives you

1:06

a nice background in practical MDCT physics.

1:11

Those would be my pieces of advice.
