Echo & Anatomy Correlation in Congenital Heart Diseases with Virtual Reality
28 Apr 2025 9 a.m. to 28 Apr 2025 5:30 p.m.
Face-to-face, GOSH Learning Academy Events
Ryan Connolly Room, Zayed Centre for Research, London
Echo/anatomy correlation of Double Outlet Right Ventricle, Transposition of Great Arteries, and Congenitally Corrected Transposition of Great Arteries
Course Director:
Dr Beatrice Bonello, GOSH, Prof Andrew Cook, UCL/GOSH, Dr Claudio Capelli, UCL/GOSH
Event Overview:
This innovative one-day course series provides an in-depth review of specific congenital heart diseases with echo/ anatomy correlation though Virtual Reality experience.
Led by a multi-disciplinary team of Consultants, Morphologists and Engineers from GOSH and UCL, this unique training offers an in-depth and focus review of several congenital cardiac anomalies.
This 1st series will be focusing on simple and complex arrangement of great arteries: Double Outlet Right Ventricle, Transposition of Great Arteries, and Congenitally Corrected Transposition of Great Arteries through:
- Echo /anatomy correlation through our unique, immersive VR experience
- Access to anatomical lab with hands-on sessions
Led by VheaRts - a collaborative project between researchers from University College London and clinicians at Great Ormond Street Hospital
Learning objectives:
- To understand the anatomical variability in the great arteries (Double Outlet Right Ventricle, Transposition of Great Arteries, and Congenitally Corrected Transposition of Great Arteries) and the challenges of repair.
- To identify the relevant information with echocardiography and understand the 3D anatomy from 2D echo images.
- To familiarise working with VR technology for future learning and planning.
Who should attend:
The course is aimed at Resident Doctors, Cardiac Physiologists, Echo Sonographers and Consultants in paediatric cardiology and adult congenital heart disease specialists.
No previous VR experience is required.
Event pricing:
- £300 Standard ticket rate
- £250 GOSH staff, UCL staff and AEPC Junior Members
