Cutting Edge CT News From ISCT17
Radiology is an ever-changing industry, and the world of CT is no exception. In order to be truly valuable to their practices, it is imperative that radiologists, technologists, medical physicists, and even practice administrators stay updated not only on current industry trends, but also what’s on the frontier for CT. Our program directors seek to help them accomplish this by pushing the boundaries each year, creating a line-up of cutting edge talks that encompass controversial topics facing CT, an overview of the newest innovations in radiology, as well as changes in technology and practice.
The quality and quantity of both our talks and faculty were better than ever this year, a fact reflected in the amount of coverage ISCT17 garnered on a national level. With over 310 innovative CT-specific talks on the schedule for ISCT17, it was almost impossible to select which ones to attend. We covered a wide variety of topics across our three tracks, each largely appealing in their own unique way, but there were a few topics of emphasis at ISCT17 that were particularly relevant to the radiology community on a national and global level.
ISCT17 Live Streaming Options Now Available
We couldn’t be more excited about ISCT17, and we’ve got tons of exciting events planned for our attendees. That being said, we understand that not everyone will be able to join us in person this June. Radiology can be an incredibly demanding industry, and many of us are trying to balance work, academia, and personal lives. Continued education is key to staying relevant in our industry, but you won’t always have the flexibility to drop everything, hop on a plane and head to a conference in person, no matter how valuable it is.
We understand that, and that’s why we’re placing an emphasis on creating an outstanding virtual experience for those of you who are seeking professional growth and desperately want to be a part of ISCT17 but simply can’t make the trip in person.
We’ve created three unique ways to view our most exciting symposium content, all from the comfort of your own home. Earn accreditation, experience the most exciting moments live from ISCT17, and access your favorite lectures long after the symposium has ended!

Our Read Out With The Professor track is one we’re pretty excited about. It’s comprised of thirty-minute case-based sessions organized around specific organ systems and diseases. Interesting and relevant clinical cases will be discussed as the basis for conveying concepts in interpretation using fundamental and newer imaging approaches with CT. All sessions are presented by expert clinicians who seek to enhance your CT interpretation skills with topics that are clinically essential.
CT Academy: Track 2 Of ISCT's TrifeCTa Symposium
Our CT Academy Track consists of recording sessions for a Live CT Manual, and sessions will cover the fundamental topics of CT technologies, techniques, and protocols. These are the "nuts and bolts" topics and practical expert tips necessary to help you maximize quality, save dose, and get the images that you need. Sessions extend to image processing techniques and service management. These sessions are meant to be interactive, with time blocked out every hour for audience Q&A opportunities. If you’re looking to hone your technical CT skills or improve your protocol knowledge, our CT Academy track is the perfect fit.
The CT Academy track features sessions on topics like the following:
