Remote CCTA Without On-Site Expertise: Hub-and-Spoke Model | SCCT 2026
Remote CCTA Without On-Site Expertise: Hub-and-Spoke Model | SCCT 2026
* Spoke hospitals: perform CCTA locally using existing CT scanners and trained staff.
* Central Hub: provides expert interpretation, standardized protocols, training, and quality control.
* Allows expansion of CCTA to hospitals without an onsite cardiac CT expert.
* Key message: CCTA can be decentralized, while expertise and quality oversight remain centralized.
* This is an implementation model, not a randomized outcomes trial.
