There are many recent technological advances in imaging techniques and protocols which can be applied to current clinical practice. Maintenance of certification requires continued review of essential imaging techniques in all areas of radiology, including musculoskeletal, breast, PET, thoracic, and abdominal Imaging. This course is designed to demonstrate a practical approach to image acquisition and interpretation in various clinical settings using current up-to-date imaging techniques, while decreasing patient radiation dose. Lecture topics include: lung cancer screening, PET/CT in lymphoma, CT/MR enterography, imaging the patient with lateral hip pain, and Breast MR with BIRADs update. In addition to didactic lectures, several case-based sessions will also be included to cover: abdomen, breast, msk and thoracic imaging.
