Types of sessions

Level 1 certification in Nuclear or Cardiac CT

The level 1 certification will enable delegates to become conversant with the field of nuclear cardiology and computed tomography (CT) cardiology for application in general clinical management of cardiovascular patients.

• To obtain a Level 1 certificate in Nuclear Cardiology, delegates must attend 3 Nuclear Cardiology sessions listed in the track here and 4 additional Multimodality sessions to be selected from the General Programme here.
  
  
• To obtain a Level 1 certificate in Cardiac Computed Tomography, delegates must attend 3 CT sessions listed in the track here and 4 additional multimodality sessions to be selected from the General Programme here.

Delegates will be scanned at the entrance of each session. A certificate will be delivered by email after the congress.

Fee: 50€ (23% VAT included) per certification
