Cardiac imaging is an important tool within the catheterization lab. Cath Lab Digest explores many cardiac imaging topics such as angiography, hemodynamic monitoring, cardiac CT angiography, IVUS, PET/CT, and physiology assessment.

The Society of Cardiovascular Angiography & Interventions (SCAI) was co-founded by the late Melvin P. Judkins, MD, with his colleague across the country, the late Dr. Mason Sones, both pioneers in coronary angiography. Today, neither would be surprised to learn that their tradition of educating colleagues working in the field continues at an even higher level than ever before through the annual SCAI symposium, named in Dr. Judkins? honor. Dr. Warren Laskey, a former President of the SCAI who chaired the event for 10 of its 20 years in existence, said something I believe applies to those of us working in the field of coronary imaging and intervention: ?The Judkins Cardiac Imaging Symposium anchors us to our past.? This unique educational symposium, dedicated to the cath lab and cardiac imaging, has evolved from a focus on simple and complex x-ray angiography to the newest imaging technologies available.

The Cath Lab That Could: Children?s National Medical Center Implements Medcon?s TCS? System
Today at Children?s National Medical Center (CNMC) in Washington, D.C., congenital cardiac cath images move over a fiber optic network to high-priority users. Physicians at any location with access to the hospital network or simply the Internet, whether at the main campus or off-site, can view these images. Patient care has definitely become easier and more efficient as a result of our 2002 implementation of a digital cardiac image management and archiving TCS? system (Medcon Telemedicine Technology, Inc., Whippany, NJ). This is the story of CNMC?s transformation.

Advanced Imaging?s Impact On The Cardiac Catheterization Lab Will Depend Upon Philosophy
s Impact On The Cardiac Catheterization Lab Will Depend Upon Philosophy New Technology: Advanced Imaging? The utilization of the catheterization lab mirrors the national average, with a cardiac catheterization rate of 11 diagnostic caths per 1,000 population (50% inpatient and 50% outpatient), and an intervention rate of 32% of cardiac catheterizations. The volume potential impact is seen in Figure 4. Conclusion: AI will impact the cardiac catheterization lab in the future.
