International Day of Radiology 2018
Last event date: November 8, 2018
On 8 November 2018 we will celebrate the 7th International Day of Radiology. This year the theme for the IODR is Cardiac imaging. The BSCI/BSCCT is delighted to take part in these celebrations which aim to improve the awareness of the importance of radiology in patient care and the understanding of the vital role radiologists and radiographers play in healthcare. For more information click here.
To celebrate the International Day of Radiology the BSCI/BSCCT have launched a podcast. The podcast will feature interviews and discussions with cardiovascular imagers from around the UK and around the world. Click here for the link to the podcast.
To coincide with the International Day of Radiology the BSCI/BSCCT and the Royal College of Radiologists have released new figures revealing that thousands of patients are missing out on potentially life-saving heart scans. Dr Giles Roditi (BSCI/BSCCT President) said “CTCA scans are incredibly good at detecting and ruling out heart disease, almost perfect. It is beyond frustrating that we do not have the capacity to provide what should be a routine frontline test for everyone presenting with chest pain.” Click here for more information.
For the rest of this week the BSCI/BSCCT will be running a heart themed baking competition. Post your heart themed baking on twitter (copying in @bscimaging and #IDoR) until Thursday 15th November! Click here for our twitter account.

British Cardiovascular Society 2017 Quiz
Last event date: June 7, 2017
The BSCI had strong representation at the recent British Cardiovascular Society Annual Conference Quiz as part of the Imaging Council team. In a change to the geographical format that has been used to select teams in previous years, this year subspecialty societies were pitted against each other.
Despite fierce competition from the British Cardiovascular Intervention Society and the Heart Rhythm Society, it was a convincing victory for the Imaging Council team. Not only did they display their prolific knowledge of idiosyncratic cardiovascular disorders, advanced multi-modality imaging reporting, complex ECG interpretation and general trivia, but also they showed that cardiovascular imagers always provide the right answer at the right time.
Congratulations to Matthias Schmitt, Ed Nicol, Dan Sado, Jim Stirrup and Alastair Moss on their success.

Meeting Report by Dr Jonathan Rodrigues
With the sun shining, a record number of delegates swarmed to the South coast for the 2-day BSCI/BSCCT Spring meeting, organized by Dr Russell Bull and held in Bournemouth.
The meeting kicked off with a highly clinically relevant session with talks from Drs Russell Bull, Gareth Morgan-Hughes, Mark Kon and Jim Stirrup, tackling the challenges that still face CTCA in 2017, how we should optimally report CTCA as well as how we can refine our CT protocols for TAVI work-up. We were given a glimpse into the future of CTCA; ultra-high resolution CT – with isotropic resolution directly comparable with invasive catheter angiography. Dr Alistair Moss rounded up the session with an overview of the work coming from Edinburgh in the assessment of native and prosthetic valve imaging.
There was no chance of a post-prandial slump with the after-lunch session tackling the hottest of topics; the new NICE guidelines for investigation of chronic stable chest pain. Dr James Shambrook and Lizzie Shaw offered pragmatic solutions to help meet the training deficit. The immediate past-president, Dr Ed Nicol, spoke about how NICE “had got it right” but warned of the many challenges still ahead.
Dr Mattias Schmitt and Professor Carl Roobottom then locked horns, debating the optimal first line investigation for patients with intermediate/high likelihood of significant CAD and cardiac sounding chest pain. With likely a combination of type 2 and type 1 thinking, the house voted in favour of anatomical, rather than functional, first line assessment.
Dr Leslee Shaw, SCCT President and Professor of Medicine at Emory University, then delivered the key-note lecture which was a tour-de-force of the future of cardiac CT in multimodality cardiac imaging, reminding us that we need to link the results of a diagnostic investigation directly to guiding treatment decisions in order to improve outcomes.
After an excellent evening of socializing at the conference dinner with both beer and pizza on tap, Friday morning kicked off with the “future of the BSCI/BSCCT session”. Dr Michelle Williams gave an update from the trainee committee and was followed by a series of excellent case presentations and research abstracts from radiology and cardiology trainees. Congratulations to Dr Jonathan Weir-McCall (winner of the best oral presentation), Dr Amardeep Ghosh Dastidar (winner of the best poster presentation), Dr C Fielder (winner of the best case presentation) and Drs Michelle Williams and Alistair Moss (recipients of BSCI/BSCCT research grants).
Dr Simon McGuirk then threw down the gauntlet to Dr Charles Peebles debating CT vs MRI in the assessment of congenital heart disease. Dr Jehangir Din, Consultant Interventional Cardiologist, then gave an overview of how CTCA impacts on his clinical practice. After lunch, there was a whirlwind session of the latest advances in nuclear (Dr Nik Sabharwal), echo (Dr Rick Steeds), CMR (Prof James Moon) and CT (Dr Bobby Agarwal) imaging techniques.
The meeting was brought to a close by the newly appointed BSCI/BSCCT President, Dr Giles Roditi. Following the immense success of BSCI/BSCCT 2017, we look forward to the 2018. Watch this space for further details!
BSCI BSCCT Annual Spring Meeting and AGM 2016
Last event date: May 6, 2016
Venue: Post Graduate Centre, Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham
Meeting report by Dr Jonathan Weir-McCall (BSCI/BSCCT Trainee Committee)
The spring meeting of the BSCI was fully booked this year with 120 delegates making their way to Birmingham to hear the excellent range of speakers cover topics from hypertrophic cardiomyopathy to congenital heart disease and aortic vasculopathies. Highlights included:
– The excellent key note speaker Kelly Han speaking on the ever growing role of cardiac CT in the pre-operative work-up and assessment of congenital heart disease, clearly demonstrating the added benefit that high pitch low dose CT provides in this extremely challenging population.
– Prof Newby speaking on the clear strength of CTCA in influencing management decisions and improving patient outcomes in the seminal SCOT-HEART trial.
– Discussion of the rationale and reasoning behind the upcoming NICE guidelines on chest pain and their potential impact on service provision in the near future.
The meeting also showcased an exciting array of upcoming cardiac imaging talent in the case presentation and early career research presentations sections, with the case presentation being won by a highly unusual case of a pulmonary artery dissection in a truncus arteriosus, and the research presentation prize being won for the second year in a row by Dr Jonathan Rodrigues for his work on cardiac remodeling in hypertensive cardiomyopathy.
All of this would not have been possible without the tireless efforts of Dr Ben Holloway who organised this interesting and varied event, and the speakers who put so much effort into producing a fantastic array of stimulating talks. Thank you to all involved in making the meeting a success.
