Principles Of Cardiac Function CT Imaging

This module introduces the essential principles of cardiac function analysis using CT and explains how technologists evaluate ventricular function wall motion and ejection fraction. It describes how multiphase acquisition reconstruction and contrast timing influence diagnostic accuracy. The content highlights the importance of heart rate control breath hold coaching and ECG gating. It also explains how technologists tailor protocols based on clinical indications. The module emphasizes the importance of communication with radiologists and cardiology teams. By understanding cardiac function CT technologists can support accurate diagnosis.
