Learning Objectives
This course is intended for practicing radiologists and medical professionals such as nurses, technologists, and physician's assistants. It will review current techniques in Cardiovascular Imaging, PET/CT and Nuclear Medicine, Abdominal Imaging, Breast MRI, Musculoskeletal Imaging, and the future of MR and CT.
At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be able to:
- Describe recent advances and future directions of MRI and CT imaging
- Utilize CT and MR for advanced imaging and diagnosis of the abdomen
- Utilize MRI for musculoskeletal applications
- Utilize new techniques and optimize interpretation for Breast MRI
- Implement current methods and protocols for PET/CT Imaging, including interpretation of PET images of the head, neck and lung
- Implement current methods and applications for CT Angiography including coronary artery imaging
Statement of Need
The demands placed on radiologists today continue to grow at alarming rate. The field of radiology is focused on high technology and is constantly changing and evolving. The technical progress results in newer and technically improved equipment necessitating added training in CT, MR and PET applications throughout the body. It is difficult for radiologists who image multiple areas of the body to stay current with each subspecialty, so our Diagnostic Imaging Update is structured as a comprehensive course covering advances in technology and applications for Body, Musculoskeletal, Cardiovascular and Breast Imaging.
