So thank you for, uh, attending this course.
0:03
I hope we found it useful.
0:04
Uh, we tried to focus on the concepts we touched on in the
0:09
introduction and, uh, hammer that home with a lot of cases.
0:13
Just in summary, a few points that I think,
0:15
uh, important to remember.
0:16
Um, really recommend that you know
0:18
and use the cadrad classifications
0:20
to speak a common language
0:22
and to do that across your service for all readers.
0:25
Um, multiplanar reformatted images,
0:27
and if you have them, curve planar reformatted
0:29
images should be interpreted.
0:30
So don't just use axial or Corona sal images.
0:33
Uh, stenosis grading is inherently imprecise, so we try
0:37
to bucket things into broad categories.
0:39
As you've learned with Cadres 2.0, invasively, FFR
0:43
and I-F-R-D-F-R, all those other ones are ways
0:46
that functional significance can be assessed.
0:48
You need to know about that
0:49
and know what your local lab does,
0:51
and then know how you might dovetail with that.
0:53
Calcium scoring can be helpful.
0:55
We talked a lot about the role of seeing calcium
0:58
for CT for planning.
0:59
It's never enough if you have symptoms, but it's an adjunct.
1:02
So we do an non-con scan, but we never stop there.
1:04
You must do the CTA myocardial
1:07
function and profusion can help.
1:08
Um, both looking at CT images,
1:10
we looked at the wall thickness,
1:11
we looked at profusion at first pass.
1:13
We also looked, uh, at some cases
1:15
where function was assessed.
1:16
And that's an adjunct
1:18
and it can be helpful if cts run into limitations
1:20
of its spatial, uh, resolution.
1:23
Um, so it's, it's an important adjunct when you have it
1:25
and you always at least have some look at, uh,
1:28
static first pass perfusion.
1:29
'cause every CTA is also a look at the myocardium.
1:32
And then, um, those functional images as well as the FFR,
1:37
the IFR, the C-T-F-F-R-F-F-R ct, just another way to say it,
1:40
um, those can help identify the vessel territory
1:43
of interest when there is a ambiguity about what's the
1:45
significant lesion.
1:47
And then just to remember
1:48
that we talked a lot about chronic total occlusion.
1:50
Those are cases where you know, the anatomy
1:52
before you do the ct.
1:53
So you're just looking to work through your algorithm to add
1:55
that additional information
1:57
and insight for your invasive angiographers.
2:00
So thank you for your attention
2:01
and we hope you enjoyed the course.
