The Society of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography (SCCT) annual meeting offers an in-depth review of all aspects of cardiac CT. The importance of the news from this conference is increasing each year as CT continues to see large expansion in the cardiovascular space, as recently found in a review of Medicare (CMS) data (read the article "Substantial Growth Found in Ordering of CTA Exams in Medicare Population"). 

Here are links to the key news and videos from the 2016 meeting held in Orlando, Fla.
