disease interventions. The Physician
Training Center consists of 5 distinct
areas, each offering a unique educational
experience: Hands on Hearts, TeachImageTM
(CTA, FFR, and IVUS), Interventional
Vascular Simulation, 3D Imaging
Workshops, and Specialty Device
Training.

TeachImage™
(CTA, FFR, and IVUS)
TeachImage™ is an interactive
online training tool that allows
physicians to test their image-interpretation
skills. New this year, the TeachImage™
format includes a series of integrated
lectures and interactive sessions
led by physician experts.
TeachCTA™
features interactive CT angiography
cases that allow users to meet society
mentoring guidelines. Immediate
feedback enables the user to compare
his/her interpretation with that
of an expert.
TeachFFR™
provides interactive case studies,
“Guess the FFR” exercises,
and a library of narrated presentations
on the subject of fractional flow
reserve as it relates to complex
multivessel disease. Each case study
provides interactive Q&A sessions
and audio annotations by a leading
physician.
TeachIVUS™
has more than 200 cases and a growing
library of narrated presentations.
The user will be able to identify
a variety of IVUS parameters in
simulation mode and instantly compare
his/her analysis to an expert’s.

Interventional
Vascular Simulation
Sessions incorporate didactic
lectures followed by hands-on training
using virtual patients. This year’s
simulation programs are more comprehensive
and focus on complications and their
management. The didactic portion
of each course is presented by an
experienced physician operator and
includes an overview of procedure-based
techniques.

image processing, and measurement.
Leading physician instructors in
the cardiovascular imaging field
will present didactic lectures and
clinical case demonstrations designed
to enhance preprocedural planning
for clinicians in the areas of coronary,
peripheral, and structural heart
disease interventions. Among other
important topics, the clinical benefits
of 3D imaging for cardiovascular
and interventional CTA will be demonstrated.
