One of the most advanced Cardiac Imaging courses  

Madrid Cardiac CT (Spectral) Academy is one of the most advanced and comprehensive cardiovascular CT courses to date, and it will be held at the Hospital Universitario Nuestra Señora del Rosario in Madrid, Spain.

Students will learn both basic and advanced techniques for performing and interpreting cardiac CT studies, having access to an individual advanced workstation. A large number of cases will be reviewed (over 150), with certification through a logbook, helping to meet the requirements for obtaining the international certification of “Independent Practitioner” in cardiac CT, EACVI Level 2 (see details on the website).

Additionally, concepts related to Spectral CT in Cardiovascular Imaging (Philips) will be learned, along with a review of numerous cases. 

Among other differences compared to other courses:

1) The world’s first course of its kind that includes numerous cases performed with the most advanced detector-based spectral CT techniques. 

2) Individual Workstation

3) 100% Net Promoter Score (NPS) in the first course edition

What our Students say

“A course of the highest professional and human level. 100% recommended as it is useful in the daily lives of those of us who face diagnosis in coronary CT angiography. Having the opportunity to learn from a Leading Team in this field, using advanced reconstruction applications, has been a true luxury. Over the 5 days, with the visualization of more than 150 cases, we managed to cover almost all aspects of cardiac pathology based on CT imaging, with extensive reference to MRI studies, cardiac functional tests, and coronary catheterization, which provide an integrated global view of the pathology.
An unforgettable course, the closeness of Vañó, Dr. Castellaccio, and Dr. Almeida, along with the colleagues who participated in the course, have made this experience difficult to replicate. I highly recommend it to all professionals dedicated to cardiac imaging.”

JM llanos. Tenerife

“It’s a very practical and original course in its format. It has been a whole experience, not only because of the teachings of the teachers but also because of their personal and close treatment. A ten for Antonio and Eliseo for the work done, not forgetting Nico. Philips’ support has also been impeccable. Congratulations!”

Mª Luisa Sánchez Alegre, Madrid

“An excellent course. It combines masterful theoretical classes with a multitude of practical cases and the added personal experience of the course directors. Having an individual station to analyze studies makes a difference. Highly recommended for both professionals starting out in this field and those looking to deepen certain aspects.”

Ruben Cano, Madrid

“I have no words to describe how fantastic the course has been. On one hand, the magnificent preparation of the presentations, which have been both concise yet containing the necessary and indispensable content on the topics at hand. On the other hand, the incredibly interesting cases seen (150 real cases). Thirdly, the superb performance of the server installed specifically for the course. And last but not least, the absolute commitment and dedication of the organizers, who have created a relaxed atmosphere, contributing to making us all feel comfortable and willing to participate, ask questions, and contribute. I highly recommend the course for those who have embarked on cardiac CT and want to deepen their knowledge and make the most of what artificial intelligence brings to this field.”

Eloisa Feliu, Alicante

“I participated in the first edition of the CCT (Spectral) Academy, and I highly recommend it. Just by looking at the program, you can tell that the curriculum is extremely comprehensive. In five intense days, not only is the theory reviewed, but – and this is the best part of the course – you have to deal with over 150 cases while having experts by your side to resolve doubts instantly. I can’t think of a better way to learn! Another very positive aspect of the course is that you see firsthand how they prepare patients, how studies are acquired… The teachers share all their protocols, their “tricks,” and all their experience, and they answer any questions we may have with astonishing generosity and enthusiasm for teaching that is contagious.
I believe that cardiology has a slow learning curve and that there isn’t much time for it during residency. This course has been a turning point in my early years as an attending physician. I believe I am now better prepared to handle cardiac CT cases, which I trust will benefit the patients.”

Carmen de Benavides Bernaldo de Quirós, Madrid

“It has been a privilege to have been able to take this course, as besides being of enormous scientific interest, the speakers have masterfully balanced the theoretical part with a wide variety of cases, managing to maintain enthusiasm and attention at all times. It has been a real luxury to have individual workstations for image visualization, with the permanent assistance of wonderful technicians ready to resolve any doubts on the spot. I want to highlight the great human and professional quality of the entire team, which has made us not only learn a lot but also feel very, very comfortable. Thank you very much.”

Esther Sola, Huelva

“Highly recommended for specialists dedicated to cardiac imaging in CT. A unique course in this category, with guaranteed technical knowledge and eminently practical insights provided by expert teachers at the forefront.”

Maria Isabel Tercero, Albacete

“I loved the course, as my coursemates and now friends said, it’s the best course we’ve ever done in our lives. Because of the wonderful teachers, marvelous educators, for the depth of their knowledge and how they convey it, and for their approachability. Because of the organization of both the course and the activities after the course sessions, everything went smoothly, I imagine due to all the effort that has been put in behind the scenes, and technically the setup has been fabulous. Thanks to my coursemates, there was such a good atmosphere that I’ve made friends for life. The course was perfect. If I can, I’ll repeat, and I recommend it wholeheartedly.”

Jaime de Miguel Criado, Coslada

“The Madrid Cardiac CT Spectral Academy course comes highly recommended to all those who are dedicated to or want to dedicate themselves to cardiac CT. Both for the possibility of using spectral CT in advanced cardiology as well as for the elaboration of reports and pathology based on cardiac imaging diagnosis by CT. The treatment is very close and highly interactive. The quality of the speakers and the involvement, both professionally and personally, of those responsible for the course is unbeatable. Besides gaining knowledge of great utility for clinical practice, I also take away great friendships.”
