Heart of R(h)ome”: education and innovation in advanced cardiac imaging

21/22 Gennaio 2027

Congresso multidisciplinare che riunisce esperti italiani ed europei per un confronto integrato sulle più moderne applicazioni di Cardio-TC e Cardio-RM.
Il programma esplora protocolli aggiornati, quantificazione avanzata (placca, FFR-CT, mapping, LGE, perfusione, 4D flow) e le nuove frontiere dell’imaging spettrale e del photon-counting CT.
Sessioni congiunte di radiologi, cardiologi e cardiochirurghi, con un approccio orientato alla standardizzazione dei percorsi e al decision-making clinico.
