The presenter will discuss the technical, clinical and market
evolution of imaging technologies for the management of cardiovascular
disease patients. Imaging technologies to be discussed include
x-ray-based cath labs, echocardiography, magnetic resonance imaging,
computed tomography, and nuclear medicine imaging platforms and
applications. In addition, the presentation will discuss related
image-based guidance technologies and information system networks. The
impact of these technology enhancements will be discussed in terms of
evolving standards of care, staff roles, hospital and clinic operations.
Objectives
At the conclusion of this program, participants should be able to:
- Describe the current status and future development trends of
mainstream consensus and emerging imaging technologies for cardiac
patient management.
- Review the evolving clinical and technology trends associated
with existing hospital technologies.
- Gain knowledge of the market, clinical and technology drivers
for the consensus adoption of evolving clinical cardiovascular
applications.
- Describe strategies for the asset management and clinical
adoption of these emerging technologies.
