16th Annual Scientific Meeting of the Society of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography
July 16 – 17, 2021
After careful consideration, SCCT has decided to transform the 2021 Annual Scientific Meeting (ASM) into a virtual conference. The virtual conference will be held Friday, July 16 and Saturday, July 17.
The SCCT ASM Program Committee is planning an exciting online program that aims to bring attendees the same learning and connection they find at our face-to-face meetings.
Program
SCCT2021 is designed to engage physicians and healthcare professionals in a comprehensive exploration of the most current developments in the field of cardiovascular CT principles, methodologies, appropriateness criteria and clinical practice.
Join world-class experts as they discuss the latest developments in CCT along with their predictions of where the field is going.
