Cardiac Imaging Training

This website has a straightforward and quite simple objective: to be a portal to facilitate training in cardiac imaging for those radiologists who seek it. The philosopher Gilbert Ryle has made the distinction between “know that” from “know how.” For radiology to participate in the future growth of cardiac imaging services, it must move beyond “know that” and acquire the “know how” of actually performing such studies. This involves a body of tacit knowledge, which can only be acquired through hands-on training and actual performance of these studies using MR and CT. This website lists, describes, and will eventually evaluate training sites that can provide this type of direct, hands-on experience. SCARD hopes you will find it useful in your endeavor to expand your professional capabilities into cardiac imaging.
