The British Society of Cardiovascular Imaging / British Society of Cardiovascular CT (BSCI/BSCCT) is a multi-professional society for all those interested in and practicing cardiovascular imaging.
Our Society welcomes membership from medical and non-medical specialists and generalists with an interest in cardiovascular imaging, and encourages membership from trainees as well as senior practitioners.
We are a multi-modality cardiovascular imaging society. This is reflected in our scientific meetings, which enables us to discuss and compare different imaging techniques. We are a Special Interest Group (SIG) of the Royal College of Radiology (RCR), an Affiliated Society for the British Cardiovascular Society (BCS) and part of the Imaging Council of the BCS. We act as the national special interest group for cardiovascular computed tomography. This function has been brought together as the BSCCT within the BSCI.
The objectives of the society are to:
- Promote the highest standards of practice of cardiovascular imaging in the United Kingdom
- Promote education, training and the dissemination of scientific evidence in all aspects of cardiovascular imaging
- Advise the Royal College of Radiologists and the British Cardiovascular Society on cardiovascular imaging
- Nurture and evolve the links between the cardiology and radiology communities
