Greetings from Boston! Looking forward to #SCCT2020 ... wherever you’ll be virtually joining us from.
Welcome to our house... after the pandemic is over you’re all invited over for #SCCT2023, but since we can’t get together in person this year, I thought we’d take you on a little tour.
Welcome to the Ether Dome, a historic surgical amphitheater and home of the first surgery under anesthesia.
Always wanted to give a lecture in the Ether Dome... maybe I’ll give my update on guidelines from here tomorrow. Or maybe I’ll just be in my living room. Thanks to my new green screen from @Heart_SCCT , you’ll never know...(Either way, I promise to wear pants!)
Here’s where it all began, long ago when we got our first 64-slice Cardiac CT scanner.
Here’s Fred McNulty, RT(R)(CT), our new CT Operations Manager. Fun fact, Fred inspired our nitroglycerin patch-based workflow, allowing improved image quality, patient satisfaction, and more relaxed patient (and tech) experience.

One of our lead cardiac techs, Dave Brennan, RT and I will be presenting our workflows in the breakout “Ask the Experts” session on Saturday, with alum @docjuanb giving Miami Baptist’s perspective.

Fun fact, @docjuanb , SCCT President @RonBlankstein , and I were Co-fellows at @MGHImaging over 12 years ago. (I never graduated... guess I’m PGY TNTC). @SuhnyAbbara was our clinical mentor and Program Director
Many other alums and leaders at SCCT including @CardiacCTGuy @cury_ricardo @SandeepHedgire @NinaMeyersohn @CIRC_MGH (many more....). And someone get Koen Nieman a twitter account already! #YesCCT
Hey, is that Tom Brady, MGH Cardiac Imaging founder and mentor to many in the field... and winner of the 2020 SCCT Achenbach Pioneer award? – bei Gray Building
Here’s one of our Cardiovascular Reading rooms. Hello, @FiRSTSCCT @PraveenRangana9 ! Why do I look so short in this picture? Gonna need a booster seat for readouts this year... be sure to check out his awesome @Heart_SCCT Donut of Destiny podcast! https://donutofdestiny.buzzsprout.com  – bei MGH - White Building
Another medical history factoid: our reading room is in the White Building, after the same Dr. White of Bland-Garland-White Syndrome. Not-so-fun factoid: the patient that led to the eponym was the son of famous MGH Radiologist-in Chief Aubrey Hampton

Famous Cardiologist Dr. White has a few eponyms to his name, but was also an avid cyclist. He even has a bike trail in his name...I rode it to work today! Gotta get that cardio in! – bei Charles River
