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, Neuro and Cardiovascular Imaging.
