Track: Cardiovascular Imaging and Multimodality Diagnostics
Cardiac imaging has evolved from anatomical description into a comprehensive tool for physiological quantification, tissue characterisation, and predictive prognostication. The Cardiac Imaging & Advanced Diagnostics session focuses on AI-augmented echocardiography with automated strain analysis, photon-counting CT coronary angiography enabling ultra-high-resolution plaque characterisation and pericoronary fat attenuation indexing, cardiac MRI T1/T2 mapping and extracellular volume fraction for quantitative fibrosis assessment, 18F-NaF PET for active coronary microcalcification imaging, 4D flow CMR in aortic haemodynamics, and multimodality imaging protocols for TAVI, TEER, and LAA occlusion planning.
Key Discussion Areas:
- AI-enhanced echocardiography: automated quantification and global longitudinal strain
- Photon-counting CT coronary angiography and plaque characterisation
- Cardiac MRI T1/T2 mapping and extracellular volume in cardiomyopathy
- 18F-NaF and FDG-PET imaging for coronary inflammation and calcification
- 4D flow CMR in aortic and valvular haemodynamics
- Pericoronary adipose tissue attenuation as a cardiovascular risk biomarker
- Multimodality imaging for structural intervention planning
- Appropriate use criteria and cost-effectiveness of advanced cardiac imaging
