Elizabeth (Lilly) Macken, Cardiology SPR, West Middlesex Hospital, London
I found Dr Tarun Mittal’s CTCA course to be truly exceptional in every respect. As a cardiology specialty registrar, I felt the course content was pitched perfectly — offering an excellent balance between theoretical understanding and extensive hands-on case review. The structured format, progressing from core principles to more complex real-world cases, provided a comprehensive and highly practical learning experience. The standard of teaching was outstanding. Dr Mittal and his team demonstrated remarkable clarity in their explanations, consistently reinforcing key concepts and ensuring participants developed both confidence and competence in CTCA interpretation. The faculty’s enthusiasm, expertise and approachability created an engaging and supportive learning environment throughout. The course was impeccably organised — from the pre-course material and pacing of sessions, to the use of advanced workstation software and the generous number of high-quality anonymised cases available for review. Each session was interactive, encouraging active discussion and critical thinking rather than passive observation. Overall, this course has significantly enhanced my understanding and confidence in cardiac CT, and I would highly recommend it to all trainees and clinicians involved in cardiac imaging. It sets an exemplary standard for CTCA training — both in content and delivery. Many thanks to Dr Mittal and his team for their dedication, professionalism and passion for teaching.

A truly inspirational course — Dr. Mittal’s passion for cardiac imaging and teaching shines through every session. His exceptional blend of radiological, clinical, and academic expertise is both engaging and empowering. I would highly recommend this course to anyone looking to deepen their understanding of cardiac imaging.
Elin Good, Cardiologist. University Lecturer, Linköping University Hospital, Sweden
The UK Cardiac CT Course was the most demanding — and the most rewarding — program I have attended in my continuing education as a cardiologist. In just a few days, I progressed from having almost no experience in thoracic radiology or coronary CT to gaining a solid and practical understanding of the field.
Prashant Gangwar, Associate Consultant Cardiology, Sunrise Group of Hospitals, Kochi, India
I would like to express my appreciation for the UK Cardiac CT course. The program was extremely well-structured and thoughtfully organised, ensuring a clear progression from foundational concepts to advanced clinical interpretation. The teaching faculty, Dr. Tarun Mittal, demonstrated exceptional clarity and patience. He guided us through each step of the learning process and encouraged active discussion, addressing every question in detail. One of the most valuable aspects of the course was the extensive hands-on exposure to real clinical cases, which allowed me to apply the theoretical principles directly to practical imaging scenarios. The range of pathologies covered was broad—from common coronary disease to complex congenital and structural heart conditions—making the learning experience comprehensive and clinically relevant. By the end of the course, I felt significantly more confident in independently reviewing, interpreting, and reporting cardiac CT studies. The supportive learning environment, combined with high-quality case material and expert teaching, made this program extremely worthwhile.
Arslan Majeed, Cardiology Registrar, Midland Regional Hospital Portlaoise, Ireland
The course was extremely well-structured and thoughtfully organised. I really appreciated the clarity of instruction and the engaging delivery.
Stuti Shah, Radiologist, Bhatia Hospital, Mumbai, India
A very well conducted course with good hands-on experience, interactive sessions, teaching the right approach to cardiac imaging and a great collection of cases.
Yiewfah Fong, Consultant Radiologist, University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust, UK
Well organised course, designed to be intensive and high yield covering topics of Cardiac CT. Pre course reading is a must.
Sanjay Dhar, Consultant Cardiologist, United Lincolnshire Hospital Trust, UK
An excellent Cardiac CT course- comprehensive, well-organized, and clinically focused. Dr Mittal explained key concepts clearly, and case-based sessions covered day-to-day relevant cardiology practice. There was a good balance between theory and practical demonstration. I will highly recommend this course to those who want to learn Cardiac CT from the very basics and will find themselves confident to report them at the end of 6 days. A big thank you to Dr Mittal for such an enriching program.
Julian Gelves, Cardiologist, La Cardio – Fundación Cardioinfantil, Bogota, Colombia
The UK CT course fully met my expectations. I learned a great deal throughout this week, building a strong foundation that will allow me to analyze studies in a more systematic and organized way, minimizing the risk of overlooking details. I particularly want to highlight the methodology taught by Dr. Mittal for case-by-case analysis — the result of his extensive professional experience — which has proven highly effective in both teaching and daily clinical practice. The course is very well structured, with clearly defined cases and excellent correlation with other imaging modalities such as CMR and cardiac catheterization. The pre-course topic videos are comprehensive, practical, and directly applicable. Dr. Mittal’s case archive is extensive and detailed, providing excellent preparation for the EACVI and SCCT certification exams. Thank you, Dr. Mittal — I truly enjoyed the course and was able to close many knowledge gaps. Having previously attended other courses and on-site trainings, I can say this course is outstanding and provides a strong foundation for accurate and confident case interpretation.
Nadia Elsheikh, Cardiology Fellow, Royal Stoke Hospital, UK
Excellent course, very educational.
Ruma Madhu Sreedharan, Consultant Radiologist, Great Western Hospital, UK
UK Cardiac CT course was an excellent course with structured training, lectures, online videos with interactive sessions and hands on training. Dr Mittal`s explanations and approach has enhanced my knowledge in reporting and understanding the basics and advances about Cardiac CT Imaging and step toward my level 2 certification.
Ziad Ali, Cardiologist, Kalix Hospital, Sweden
The online course was well-structured and professionally conducted. The content was comprehensive and aligned with the learning objectives. The instructor demonstrated strong expertise and maintained an engaging learning environment. Overall, it was a valuable and enriching academic experience.
Rasanga Wijesinha, Cardiology Registrar Year 7, The Lister Hospital, Stevenage, UK
Amazing course. The organisation was brilliant from the pre course material to the technical aspects. The course itself was brilliant in the form of such good hands-on teaching but also Dr Mittal has put so much thought into additional material from educational elements to accreditation. Amazing that he was also able to continue on his own all week showing great stamina and passion!
Fraz Ahmad, Interventional Cardiologist, Shalamar Hospital, Lahore, Pakistan
It was a wonderful course. After attending this course, I stand quite confident than before in reporting Cardiac CT. This course just pushed me to go through a lot of information in such a brief period that it improved my understanding of Cardiac CT significantly. I should add and endorse extra ordinary teaching by Dr. Tarun Mittal. The way he communicated all the necessary information to almost 30 candidates at a time, with extreme patience and attention to all candidates without any discrimination and anger, shows that he is an exceptionally good mentor. Many thanks to him. The only thing I would like to ask for is that there should be more time allocation for discussing as well as practicing TAVI planning cases. I feel for myself that I have gained enough confidence for reporting CTCA cases but less confident for TAVI planning cases despite discussing and reporting several TAVI cases during this course. Overall, it was worth taking this course. Probably the best online course that i have ever attended. Thank you Dr. Tarun Mittal, thank you SCCT.
Stephanie Toner, Consultant Radiologist, Southern HSCT, Northern Ireland, UK
Fantastic well organised course which ran very smoothly. There was an excellent range of cardiac pathology, and I feel much more confident in cardiac CT. Dr Mittal’s enthusiasm for cardiac imaging is very inspiring.
Asiri Gunasekara, Cardiology Fellow, Midland Metropolitan University Hospital, Birmingham, UK
Organization and response was perfect from the time of booking. Pre-course platform is smooth and quite informative. The course it self – this was the most I have learnt in such a short time in a long time. I feel better prepared to analyse and report cases now. 😇 I am certainly recommending this course to my colleagues who are enthusiastic about cardiac CT and accreditation.
Elizabeth Anderson, Radiology Resident, Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, UK
Excellent quality course with good range of cases, thorough pre course lectures and lots of time for questions.
Lydia Earnshaw, Radiology Registrar, University Hospital Sussex, Brighton, UK
The course had a high number of cases to educate and enhance knowledge in cardiac CT reporting. The virtual format worked very well and was well organised and supported. There could have been more varied facilitators for example in different break out rooms which could be used to check understanding in a more tailored way.
Response: Thanks Lydia for the suggestion. This would however prolong the course.
Mohamed Elbargesy, Consultant Radiologist, East Kent hospitals university NHS Foundation Trust, UK
It was the best course I ever attended, very informative and hands on was great.
Inga Narbute, Invasive Cardiologist, Pauls Stradins Clinical University Hospital, Latvia
Very well organized and presented. Gives knowledge on full cardiac CT interpretation. Absolutely impressed and amazed by Dr. Tarun Mittal way of teaching. I will recommend it to colleagues! Thank you!
Anders Ulvenstam, Consultant Cardiologist, Östersund Hospital, Sweden
It was a hands-on course with a very experienced and decicated teacher that takes you through both the basics and more advanced principles of Cardiac CT. The participants get to practice a lot in the platform. There is a comprehensive theoretical pre-course eduacation material that needs 2-3 work days to go through, in order to be meaningful.
Rubeena Razzaq, Consultant Radiologist, Royal Bolton Hospital, UK
Very Intensive and hard work but comprehensive with good teaching on the structure of reporting, mostly at a pace appropriate to everyone. Large number of straightforward and difficult cases studied.
Artur Mlodzianowski, Consultant Cardiologist, Craigavon Area Hospital, UK
I must admit I am delighted I decided to attend this course. What I liked: pre-course on-line lectures which helped me to better understand what I will be learning and to help me with basics. I also liked short tests after lectures. Then the course itself: great and very clear communication on what and when will be happening, including technical aspects, very approachable attitude Dr Mittal has, slow pace at the beginning and well structured approach to how to report CTCAs, checking on every attendee and how they manage, making clear things immediately and taking time to clarify all issues. The content was also excellent, great database of cases. At the end of the course I had a feeling that I learned a lot but there is also much more to learn before I would call myself a competent CTCA reporter. What I would like to have more during this course is breaks – even short ones to get up and stretch, let’s say every hour. Overall – great course, excellent content, very well structured, fantastic learning experience. I would highly recommend for any novice in CTCA.
Harron Shahid, Consultant Radiologist, Royal Bolton Hospital, UK
It is an excellent course for beginners. It gives you a very good insight into a variety of different patients.
Camilla Fjord Thomsen, Cardiology Registrar, Rigshospitalet, Denmark

Structured, learner-focused course with an experienced, knowledgeable trainer giving comprehensive hands-on training.
Justin Christopher Ng, Consultant Radiologist, Gleneagles Hospital, Hong Kong
Fantastic course. Dr Mittal’s comprehensive cardiac CT review method should be considered gold standard in the industry. Personally, I think the several powerpoint presentations prior to hands-on case discussions during the week can be omitted as the PPT are mostly overlaps of the pre-course online lectures.
Adesh Ramsewak, Rampersad Medical Centre, Cardiologist, Trinidad
High quality talks and slides with an engaging and knowledgeable tutor.
Timothy Williams, Consultant Cardiologist, Tunbridge Wells Hospital, UK
This course was excellent – and the guided explanations of CT scans were well judged and built as the course continued from simple to more complex cases. The environment supported learning with good structure and helpful feedback.

Really impressed with the course overall which has covered the majority of what one expects to encounter in clinical practice. Tarun is excellent both as an instructor and has a vast wealth of clinical knowledge. The course itself is well structured and the organisation is excellent.
Bernard Rajivanan Francis, Speciality Registrar in Cardiology, Kettering General Hospital, UK
This was a very intense course as an introduction to cardiac CT and how to use the analytic software. It was very useful as we are going through a variety of cases and are given detailed instructions as to how to tackle the complex anatomy. Also, we were easily able to clear our questions and doubts on these cases with Dr Tarun Mittal immediately which helped a lot.
Ravindran Rajendran, Consultant Interventional Cardiologist, Apollo Hospitals Trichy, India
Content of the course was excellent and comprehensive. As an Intervention cardiologist, I got a new perspective on cardiac anatomy & it improved my approach towards chest pain patients and in the cath lab during cath/intervention. Regarding the conduct of the course Dr Tarun’s commitment, stamina, punctuality & professionalism is excellent. No one was left behind despite this being an online course. Everyone was guided individually & then made to demonstrate every step. In spite of the repetitive nature of the cases, he carries on the enthusiasm and makes it interesting and interactive.
Eirini Velegraki. Cardiac Imaging Fellow, Royal Brompton Hospital, UK
Excellent course!
Farhan Mehdi, Cardiothoracic Radiology Trainee, Nottingham University Hospital, UK
Excellent course from every aspect- online material, actual course content and cases, venue, meals etc. Very well organised and highly impactful course. Through out the course there was opportunity to ask endless questions. One of the best course I have ever been to.
Oliver Schulte, Consultant Radiologist, Princess Elizabeth Hospital, Guernsey
TM presented the extensive and sometimes tiring topics in the most interesting and entertaining way. MP (Mini Pakkal) was also an excellent teacher. They both know their stuff. There was excellent interaction between radiologists and cardiologists. It was six long days, but it was absolutely worth it. The IT and AV setup was flawless. The conference and catering facilities were excellent. I learnt a lot and made some new friends.
Tamara Naneishvili, ST7 Cardiology SPR, Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham, UK
It was genuinely the best course I’ve attended. Excellent organization and attention to small details. Everything was well thought out and organized, from the online lectures, venue, day-long planning, CT topics, learning methods, objectives, etc., to the comfortable timing for breaks and lunch. The methodical approach to reviewing each case was very helpful and made sure that everyone was on the same page with the steps of case review. I will be recommending this course to my colleagues!
Vasiliki Apostolaki, Cardiologist, Mediterranean Hospital of Cyprus, Cyprus
1. Teaching method via a double screen (CT program and Zoom) interactive sharing was really effective. Also, learning from Dr Mittal, who has extensive experience in multiple fields of imaging, helped everyone understand the usefulness of cardiac CT and recommend the right further treatment or investigation steps according to the patient’s clinical condition. 2. Most fields of cardiac CT were covered by both the lectures at e-learning and the hands-on cases reviewed during the course. 3. The course timetable was demanding (as it should be), and breaks were vital and well distributed and organized with good food and refreshments at the right time. 4. All the resources given, both in printed and in electronic form, are very helpful and valuable.
Samrat Mandal, Consultant Radiodiagnosis, Dr. P.K Saha Hospital, Coochbehar, India
As a radiologist from India, I found this course extremely beneficial for several reasons: 1. The course provided specific methods for reporting cardiac CT, which we practised extensively. By the end, we had mastered these techniques to our satisfaction. 2. Both cardiologists and radiologists attended the course, and discussions included perspectives from both fields. This approach ensured that doctors from diverse backgrounds could thoroughly understand the key concepts of cardiac CT. 3. The course manual was exceptionally high quality, serving as a comprehensive guide on cardiac CT. 4. The course covered various landmark clinical trials related to cardiac CT, giving us a clear understanding of its strengths and weaknesses compared to other cardiovascular imaging modalities. 5. Dr. Mittal was highly encouraging and provided precise guidance on various decisions. Staying at the Bull Hotel was a good choice as it minimized travel time during the intensive six-day training.
Elwaleed Hassan, Specialty Doctor in Cardiology, Altnagelvin Area Hospital, Londonderry, UK
Very good course with excellent organisation and teaching.
Pål Stokkeland, Consultant Radiologist, Sørlandet Hospital Kristiansand, Norway

Mohamed Eltayeb, Clinical Fellow, Lincoln County Hospital, Leicester
The course was excellent, and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to do Cardiac CT. The pre-recorded lectures and questions were essential, relevant, clear and useful. It is a must for anyone serious about CT training. The course venue and room for the practical bit were excellent, too. The software ran as smoothly as any software can ever run, and the audio/visual support was good. The breakfast, snacks, tea facilities and lunch were very good. The course content was very useful. The course organisers maintained a friendly environment and a good vibe throughout. Great overview and teaching from Dr Mittal and great teaching from Dr Pakkal. Excellent support from Terarecon’s team members -Marielle Well done

Balvinder Handa, Cardiology SPR, Hammersmith Hospital, London (Onsite participant)
The course is comprehensive and excellent. I valued the fact that we had individual workstations and were given adequate time to go through each case individually. A TAVI workflow sheet would highly useful with details on how to correctly take measurements. Equally an online tutorial to accompany it would be appreciated. I enjoyed the course. The venue and catering were excellent. Dr Mittal was excellent. Perhaps an additional member of faculty to support the cases may be useful. Rating: 5/5
Benjamin Bussman, Cardiology Fellow, Reading, England (Onsite participant)

Karen Darragh, Consultant Cardiologist, Ireland
I found the course excellent. My only criticism was regarding the technical lecture as mentioned above. A dummies guide to radiology for cardiologists would have helped me I think. Otherwise, excellent course content, great descriptions and you have great patience with the numerous questions etc. I had some Internet issues one day but other than that it ran relatively smoothly for me. Parallels kicked me out once or twice and there were some issues with screen sharing but nothing too significant. I would definitely recommend it to others. Rating: 5/5
Response: Thanks, Karen. I understand that CT physics can be complex to understand, and one needs to go through a few times. I hope that the revision of the main concepts that I provided on the first day helped in this regard. Tarun
Karsten Murray, Cardiologist, Switzerland (Onsite participant)

I was surprised what a great course it was, even though I had heard it from a colleague. As an online participant I felt very well taken care of, it was clear dr Mittal was eager to include us all in the course and he managed very well. After a few years of corona and online courses, quality has varied, but this was very good. It was great with the combination of coronary findings/thoracic vascular as well as coronary arteries. I feel I will have much use of what I’ve learned during this course. I think I got so much “straightforward” information, very pleased!
Marco Previtero, Cardiologist, Italy (Onsite participant)
The course Is perfetto as It Is. You’re Amazing. The course Is very good. I don’t have any suggestions.
Mustafa Hamid, Radiologist, Oman (Onsite participant)
The course is excellent but regarding TAVI I think it needs an extra day for training.
Response: Thanks, Mustafa. In a regular Level 2 course, only half a day is available. However, this forms a good basis for you to undertake an advanced dedicated TAVI CT course.
Oltiana Lakra, Consultant Cardiologist, London (Onsite participant)

Sara Moura Ferreira, Consultant Cardiologist, Porto, Portugal
The focus on hands-on analysis of clinical cases was one of the strong parts of this course. This works since the theoretical part had to be watched beforehand which allows for the course to be about actual cases. As an online participant, I appreciate the attention to make us not feel forgotten and to make sure we participate, showing the course was well-organized and executed, this was to the extent that I felt no disadvantage by not being on-site for this training.
Wei Jun How, Cardiology SPR, Manchester, England (Onsite participant)
A huge case mix to supplement all of the learning objectives. Definitely a huge boost to my overall confidence in interpreting cardiac CT
William Cooper, Radiology SPR, Bristol, England (Onsite participant)
Excellent course. I’ve been reporting Cardiac CT for a few years but hadn’t seen enough pathology to feel comfortable reporting independently. The review system Dr Mittal teaches is excellent and I will implement this into my practice from now on. Thank you.
Niamh Murphy, Consultant Cardiologist, Dublin, Ireland
Excellent course. Very enjoyable and certainly met my learning objectives.

Mona Ahmed, MD, PhD, Stockholm, Sweden
I am not accustomed to these short coffee breaks, but it was easy to forget about it because this was truly the best course I have ever attended, worth every minute. The variety of the cases, the course content, and the amount of training you get during the course are very well balanced. Dr Mittal is truly an exceptional teacher! The learning curve is steep and it’s time well invested. I would definitely recommend this course.
Overall Rating: 5/5 stars
Henrik Löfmark, Consultant Cardiologist, Stockholm, Sweden

Ching Hui Sia, Associate Consultant in Cardiology, Singapore
Dr Mittal was an excellent, experienced, and patient teacher who was extremely willing to share his knowledge. Would definitely recommend this course! The use of an online platform enabled us to learn remotely, something extremely valuable during the pandemic – I would recommend having an online course option as well even after the pandemic is over so that there can be more overseas participation.
Overall Rating: 5/5 stars
Niklas Nyman, Consultant Interventional Radiologist, Stockholm, Sweden
In my opinion, the Course has been better and given me more information than I expected. I think it is important if possible to have the Course within given time limits. I do not know how to solve it but it is not satisfactory when one person is having software problems it takes time from all participants. I am impressed by the patience and passion in leading the Course by dr Mittal.
Response: Niklas, many thanks for your feedback. It is important that all participants progress through the course in the same way at the same rate. If I feel that someone’s issue is going to take more time then it is fine to proceed and hope that person will catch up later.

Jeetendra Thambyrajah, Consultant Cardiologist, Middlesbrough, UK
I would have preferred to have done more coronary cases rather than aortic valve cases but this is a personal preference. However, I accept that there is a time constraint.
Response: Jeet, thanks for your feedback. As you know, CT has become essential for planning ofTAVI procedures. It is thus expected that some cases of valve/TAVI included in the Level 2 course.
Overall Rating: 5/5 stars

Sameer Kalgaonkar, Consultant Radiologist, Dumfries, UK
This is a highly recommended course. Dr Mittal is a great teacher. The simplistic approach, easy language, and the ability to teach has been phenomenal. There is not a single aspect of the course which was below excellence. The collection of cases, illustrations, the content of the lectures and the online workshop to go through the entire variety of cases is very helpful to complete and useful. Online lectures are better than in-person face-to-face lectures. You can rewind and listen to concepts that are difficult. You can adapt to different time schedules.

Exceptional course. Excellent organisation, smooth running despite its virtual format; with plenty of learning points. Dr Mittal goes above and beyond in ensuring we learn the in/outs of Cardiac CT. Thank you!

Thamal Vithanage, Fellow in Cardiology, Nottingham, UK
The course was amazing! Covered a lot more than the areas required for routine practice. I am now confident in my ability to interpret and report cardiac CTs independently. I have to extend a very big thank you to Dr Mittal! You are truly passionate about cardiac CT and you are great at rubbing off that enthusiasm on the participants as well – I am truly inspired! Thank you very much for this!

Fabulous course, efficiently structured, very intense learning through a large number of hands-on cases, with superb didactic support. High quality of lectures and great educational content, all directly connected to practical cases. Dr. Mitral is an incredible teacher with immense patience and takes it at heart that everyone learns what is necessary. The technology used was fantastic, flawless, quick, robust, user friendly, and with a super-efficient IT backup, which made the online course better than any other live course I have been to. Support was given before, during and even after the course. Would STRONGLY advise it to anyone who wants to learn Cardiac CT, no matter the background. Thank you.
Shahbaz Kureshi, Professor of Cardiology, Islamabad, Pakistan
Overall conduct and quality of the course were excellent. The quality of the lectures was top class and very well researched. The hands-on experience was unique, with personal attention to everyone, and the opportunity to learn when everyone else was presenting and others could watch and be a part of it, which enhanced the learning process. It was a unique and very rewarding experience. The passion of the faculty to teach was palpable, the patience exemplary. It was very well organised and executed to perfection. Without a shadow of doubt a teaching course par excellence, one to be recommended to all interested and working in the field of cardiac CT, Cardiology, and Radiology. If provided with another chance I would look forward to participating next year again. I wish the entire faculty continued success, prosperity and good health. Thank you very much for a great experience and learning cutting edge technology and improving my skills.
Leila Kanni, Clinical Physiologist, Stockholm, Sweden
I had no former knowledge of CT at all. Thanks to dr Mittal’s excellence in teaching and knowledge in this field I still could follow all the moments and learned so much. The best course I have had so far in this field. The software worked very well all the time and support was always available at hand.

The course was very well organized with good quality teaching and excellent resources.
Fatma Demirel, Cardiology Trainee, Zwolle, The Netherlands
The course with all of the presentations and cases were of high quality. I first had some doubts about an online course, however the way it was set up, and due to an interactive way, we learned a lot from Tarun/Mini and from the other participants. I would highly recommend the course to my colleague.
C. T. Grutters, Radiologist, Zwolle, The Netherlands
It was a really nice experience. More than my initial expectations. The cases were really interesting. I just would have seen more, I guess. I have now learned a really good base of looking at the cardiac CT. The interpretation of coronary plaques is one where more experience is needed. Luckily, we have experienced cardiologists where we can learn from. I would thank you for sharing your experience with me. It was a really good course. Too bad we couldn’t meet in person. Perhaps in the future we will.
Julien Cohen, Radiologist, Chief of Unit, La-Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland
Great course. Thank you Tarun and Mini for your insights
Bart Posthuma, Radiologist, Hardenberg, The Netherlands
An excellent course in terms of educational value, it was well organized; especially the one on one education during the analyses of the cases online provided insight on my own skills and knowledge. The organizers were extremely helpful and were easily approachable and showed great knowledge. I wish I had attended the course earlier. I highly would recommend the course to colleagues with an interest in cardiac CT imaging.
Thyusha Devineni, Consultant Radiologist, Lancashire, UK
Slow and steady approach, very patient.
Parthasarathy Karunakaran, Consultant Radiologist, Chester, UK
Excellent course content and well handled by Dr Mittal. Very comfortable having it totally online in these unpredictable times. Software and application support provided throughout.
Colin McQuade, Radiology SPR, Dublin, Ireland
Excellent course! My knowledge and understanding has increased beyond my expectations over the last week. Many aspects will stand to me when even reporting a general day to day CT list, in addition to providing me with the tools to build upon my confidence in reporting cardiac CT. Would highly recommend it.
