Transforming Cardiac Care
Enhanced Workflow Using the Cleerly Platform
Webinar with Live Q&A — November 18, 2026, 7pm ET
Streamlining coronary CT workflows with Cleerly
Join A. Sami Abuzaid, MD, EMHL, FACP, FASE, FASNC, FSCMR, FSCCT, FESC, FACC, Cardiac Imaging Director at the Alaska Heart & Vascular Institute, for a practical look at how the Cleerly platform streamlines coronary CT workflow and sharpens clinical decision-making. A hypertrophic cardiomyopathy specialist, Dr. Abuzaid will share how AI-powered plaque analysis can move practices from imaging to actionable care.
The session covers how Cleerly’s cloud-based tools integrate into existing systems with no new hardware, delivering SCCT-aligned automated reports directly into PowerScribe and PACS to reduce manual entry errors. Dr. Abuzaid will review evidence showing diagnostic performance comparable to invasive gold standards and near-perfect reproducibility. He will also explain why non-calcified plaque and severe stenosis, rather than calcified plaque, predict future cardiac events. Finally, he will walk through the ACC Innovations in Prevention Working Group Atherosclerosis Staging System and how it helps match therapies to each patient’s disease burden.
The webinar features Dr. Abuzaid’s presentation followed by a moderated discussion and live Q&A led by Tony DeFrance, MD, FSCCT, of Cleerly. Cardiologists, radiologists, imaging specialists, and healthcare leaders are encouraged to attend.
