Advanced Cardiac Imaging: Cardiac Computed Tomography (CT)

WEEK 1: Anatomy and common types of Cardiac CT
This MOOC will begin with a course on cardiac anatomy and common cardiac CT examinations (e.g calcium score, CT coronary angiogram, pulmonary vein CT and TAVI). You will also learn basics on contrasts agents.

WEEK 2: Role, Analysis & Reporting of Cardiac CT
In this section, we will teach you the role of calcium score, CT coronary angiogram, CT pulmonary veins and TAVI (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation) and how to interpret those examinations. We will also explain the role and analysis of CT for planning atrial fibrillation therapy.

WEEK 3: Technology, Image Production and Post Processing
This section will cover the principles of image production at the scanner (e.g physics, adapted protocols, radiation exposure). You will also learn image post-processing for analysis.

WEEK 4: Specialized Utilization of CT
In the last section, we will introduce you to more advanced utilizations of cardiac CT (e.g Ventricular function, CT FFR, myocardial perfusion, spectral CT) and future developments in cardiac CT.

You will also have the opportunity to practice on clinical cases and discuss this through our web forum every week.

第1周：解剖学和心脏CT的类型
该MOOC将从心脏解剖学和常见心脏CT检查（例如钙评分，CT冠状动脉造影，肺静脉CT和TAVI）开始。我们还将学习对比剂的基础知识。

第2周：心脏CT的作用，分析和报告
在本节中，我们将教您心脏CT在钙化评分，CT冠状动脉造影，CT肺静脉和TAVI（经导管主动脉瓣植入）的作用以及如何理解检查结果。我们还将讨论CT在指导心房颤动治疗中的作用。

第3周：技术，对比度，图像产生和后期处理
本节将介绍扫描仪的图像采集原理（例如物理，改变扫描技术，辐射曝光）。您还将学习图像后处理以进行分析的内容。

第四周：CT的专业化应用
在最后一节课中，我们将向您介绍心脏CT更高级的应用（例如心室功能，CT FFR，心肌灌注，光谱CT）以及心脏CT的未来发展。

您还将有机会练习临床案例，并每周通过我们的网络论坛进行讨论。
