Course Overview
This live 2-day online course provides practical information on basic and advanced imaging techniques for chest and cardiac imagers, common and less common disease entities that may be encountered in daily practice, and opportunities for clinical correlation and discussion.

Chest imagers are often tasked with performing and interpreting cardiovascular findings, ranging from complex congenital heart disease and repair to pulmonary vascular abnormalities, either in an on-call setting or as the most proximal radiologist, despite lack of formal training. Conversely, cardiac imagers will often encounter airway or pulmonary pathology during routine exams. We aim to bridge this divide by coming together in providing a bidirectional learning opportunity, whilst also including clinical speakers in the disciplines of pulmonary, cardiology, and surgery for further comprehension of imaging related findings.

Technical Requirements
This live online course will be delivered using the Zoom Meeting platform which will be accessed through the SPR Online Education Center - XPress. Zoom meeting access, activity evaluation and credit claiming will all be available within the SPR 2027 Pediatric Chest & Cardiac Imaging Course product available within XPress prior to the start of the Course.

Hoping For On-Demand Access?
The Course will be recorded and converted into an on-demand activity later this year. All registrants for the live online course will also have access to the recordings at no additional cost.

Target Audience
The target audience for this course is for general pediatric radiologists seeking to advance knowledge of chest and cardiac imaging, pediatric chest imagers looking for more information about cardiac imaging, and cardiac imaging interesting to learn more about chest imaging

Learning Objectives
1. Present a pediatric cardiothoracic and cardiovascular imaging review highlighting relevant, current, and high-yield information using multiple imaging modalities for a broad range of conditions that are routinely encountered in practice
2. Discuss common pitfalls and errors which occur in the practice of pediatric cardiothoracic and cardiovascular radiology and how to avoid them
3. Understand the comparative role of different imaging modalities (including limitation, advantages, and disadvantages) and their uses
4. Review emergent imaging indications for initial presentation and post-operative patients and techniques for imaging when indicated along with case examples
5. Understand which indications may need urgent or emergent imaging and utilize case examples of protocol and findings
