Description:
This course is designed to provide a comprehensive and practical review of contemporary diagnostic imaging. Optimal imaging and image interpretation of usually encountered conditions are reviewed. Pitfalls in image interpretation, including MRI artifacts are explained and methods to avoid them are discussed. In addition to lectures, multiple case presentation sessions are provided that show examples of “must know” and “advanced” cases. An audience response system will be utilized to facilitate participation. Self-assessment modules (SAMS) will be provided tailored to the course material.

Awareness of procedure costs in terms of radiation dose, safety, and contrast utilization is essential to choose and tailor examinations appropriately. These aspects of imaging are addressed in sessions including lectures on dose reduction in CT, MRI safety, and appropriate contrast utilization. Newer imaging modalities (such as dual energy CT) and newer therapies are discussed. Non-interpretative skills are essential in radiology. Such knowledge is a requirement for initial board certification and maintenance of certification. The course will address such issues as Health care reform, peer review and structured reporting.

A physician’s ability to respond effectively to contrast crisis situations will be addressed by providing didactic information followed by an optional simulation workshop. This specialized workshop gives participants the opportunity to perform and practice critical life saving procedures in response to emergencies that may be encountered in routine practice, such as bronchospasm, anaphylaxis, and hypotension/tachycardia. This is a hands-on workshop and advanced registration is necessary to provide an optimal experience.
