ECHO ALASKA: FRONTIERS OF MULTIMODALITY IMAGING INCLUDING ECHO, CARDIAC CT, AND MRI

This symposium is a comprehensive review of state-of-the-art echocardiography, nuclear, cardiac CT, and MRI for a wide variety of cardiovascular disorders. We will emphasize new technologies and how to use imaging information for the care of your patients. Integration of Echo, CT, and MRI and their incremental value in clinical cardiology will be highlighted. An additional focus will be on the role of 2-D and 3-D echocardiography in guiding interventional therapies.

Unique to this course is live scanning of patients with various CV disorders. This session will emphasize the importance of comprehensive echocardiographic acquisition and management decision based on echocardiographic data.
