1. To learn how to measure myocardial extracellular volume using CT. 2. To become familiar with clinical significance of myocardial extracellular volume. 3. To understand advantages and technical challenges of CT measurement of myocardial extracellular volume.  

A) Motivation for Assessing Extracellular Volume as a Quantitative Measure of Myocardial Fibrosis. B) Advantages and Technical Challenges of CT in Comparison with MRI T1 mapping. C) Equation for the Calculations of Extracellular Volume: What does it all mean? D) How to Acquire Good CT Images Suited for Assessment of Extracellular Volume including Contrast Injection Protocol. E) Extracellular Volume Measurement as a Part of Comprehensive Cardiac CT Study Consisting of Pre-contrast CT, Stress CT Perfusion, Coronary CT Angiography and Delayed-phase CT. F) Image Post-Processing in Practice.　 G) Interpretation of Myocardial Extracellular Volume H) Future Clinical Indications of Extracellular Volume Measurement.
