Classroom Training
Classroom training sessions generally take place at our Training Centers. Theoretical principles of imaging are supplemented by a wide range of practical exercises on the most recent systems, giving learners the opportunity to gain skills for day-to-day clinical work.
In-depth skills for cardiologists, physicians and MTs/RTs
During the interactive course, you will learn about coronary angioplasty, the angiographic projections of the stenosis, the right selection of catheters, even tips and tricks of wire techniques and catheter intervention. Exercises are conducted using a CATHI computer-based simulation system and the newly developed pulsatile coronary model, CoroSim, in conjunction with a fully functional Siemens Healthineers biplane flat detector angiography system.
A newly upgraded scenario based virtual simulation system developed by Terumo enables participants to refresh and experience situational procedural sequences. A silicon vessel model using real interventional devices will enhance reflection of knowledge transforming into acquired skills. In addition to the hands-on experiences, lectures are presented on topics such as radiation protection, complications and quality management.Course details

Clinical Workshop
Clinical workshops are training programs which last one to several days and specifically focus on clinical issues. They include lectures given by clinical experts, live examinations, and, in many cases, practical exercises.
