This course will concentrate on updates in Breast, Musculoskeletal, Pediatric, Neuroradiology & Abdominal Imaging. All of the lectures will address scanning parameters and how scanning protocols can be optimized in order to minimize the radiation exposure of patients while maintaining diagnostic quality examinations. Clinical radiologists must stay up-to-date on the latest imaging techniques and the program will review the latest topics including: Musculoskeletal MR, Prostate MR, Pediatric Sonography, Stroke Imaging and Digital Breast Tomosynthesis. The expertise presented in this program is meant to be integrated into the participants' practices in an effort to improve their current knowledge, imaging skills and ultimately improve patient care.
Educational Objectives
After participating in this activity, clinicians should be able to describe the latest imaging techniques in prostate MR, including anatomic diffusion and perfusion sequences.
After participating in this activity, clinicians should be able to describe the role of CT angiography, CT perfusion, and MR imaging in the management of a patient presenting with acute stroke.
After participating in this activity, clinicians should be able to illustrate the fundamentals of how, why and when Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT) is viable for mammographic screening.
After participating in this activity, radiologists should be able to identify MR imaging features of disease patterns affecting the ankle and foot, taking into account the complex anatomy of the foot and ankle, and thus provide the referring physician with treatment guidance and pre surgical planning.
