Official photos: CVCT2014 Day 2 lectures



This is the first time in Asia to have such a high-resource hands-on interactive teaching course. Totally 48 units of workstation from different vendors, 15 tutors including radiologists, technologists and applicationists, teaching 28 real cardiovascular CT cases a day!

Thanks Philips and Toshiba / Vital / Rotary for the generous support. Together we made this possible with very high satisfaction. And all participants now learned how powerful the workstation is in clinical work.

With photos, let’s review the happy-learning day!

CVCT2014’s chief photographer, Jack Chen, is also a radiology technologist with major clinical work happened to be cardiovascular CT and intervention. He clearly knows that, timing is everything. For capturing a great image, usually we have only one chance.

Thus, let’s review the day with Jack Chen’s official CVCT2014 photos.

CVCT2014 in participants’ eyes (April 20, hands-on course)



Organizing an interactive hands-on workshop with 50 units of workstation is not easy.

Choosing good cases with clinical implication, preparing the syllabus, ensuring cross-platform performance, checking electricity capability, Wi-Fi stability, multi-vendor communication……these are just part of the challenges we encountered in past 6 months.

Fortunately, we made it! Together with generous sponsors, brilliant engineers, professional applicationists, we accomplished this educational course.

Surprisingly, participants from different countries cherished the time so much that most of them just didn’t leave the workstation even during coffee break and lunch time. They seized every minute to learn, and to interact with our teaching faculty.


Please see the photos uploaded by hands-on course participants.

Please see the photos uploaded by physicians from different countries……
