▶︎ Course Overview

14th Annual Multimodality Cardiovascular Imaging for the Clinician is a comprehensive educational conference focused on the practical use of cardiovascular imaging in the diagnosis, management, and treatment of cardiovascular disease. The program highlights the strengths, limitations, and appropriate clinical use of echocardiography, cardiac CT, PET, and cardiac MRI across a wide range of cardiovascular conditions.

Through didactic lectures, case-based discussions, live panels, and Q&A sessions, world-renowned experts guide participants in correlating cardiac anatomy with imaging findings to enhance clinical decision-making.
