Questions to ask a CTA training program:
- Do I get to manipulate all the cases myself or am I only watching a recording or watching someone else manipulating the images for all 150 cases?
- Do I have to share a workstation with another student?
- Is there a dedicated Level 3 teacher/lecturer present during the entire course or are students ever left to work unattended?
- How many students has the instructor trained on that specific brand of workstation? For how long?
- For Level 1 classes: Do I get to meet my live case requirement or do I need to return for more training?

“Dr. DeFrance’s systematic approach to the interpretation of the data set leaves you confident in your ability to interpret these studies in a relatively short period of time.”

-Dr. Ali Homayuni, Cardiologist, New York
"I have been to 3 CT courses and the course at the CVCTA center in San Francisco with Dr. Defrance is the best. His approach provides in-depth CTA experience in addition to the basics of work station functionality, which is so hard to learn initially without being walked through the process step-by-step.
The carefully planned cases and cath correlation are also so valuable and much better organized than the previous courses I have attended. Thank you, I really feel comfortable with reading and having a solid reading method after completing the course."
-Dr. Robert Phillips, Radiologist
