Course Format

Five full-day sessions Monday through Friday, with special Rapid-Fire Case Review sessions on Tuesday and Thursday evenings.
Course speakers will include 50 UCSF faculty from each of the different radiology subspecialties.

This course will review the fundamentals of the major organ systems and corresponding imaging modalities.  Emphasis will be placed on providing a step-by-step process for reaching a differential diagnosis.  Lecture content will focus on comparative analysis and key factors that promote accurate clinical diagnosis.

Course Objectives

1.  Identify imaging fundamentals of each of the radiology subspecialties (organ systems).
2.  Prescribe the appropriate utilization of imaging modalities (CT, MR, US, PET, Mammography) for different medical conditions.
3.  Implement the appropriate imaging protocols for routine clinical presentations.
4.  Recognize indications and markers for interventional procedures, as well as assessment of outcomes.
5.  Apply classification of pathophysiological mechanisms underlying human disease to facilitate differential diagnosis.
6.  Refine imaging criteria to optimize quailty/findings and improve diagnostic interpretation.

The course will include the following "non-Interpretive" lectures that are essential to general clinical radiology practice:
CT/MR Safety, Ultrasound Technical Tips & Artifacts, IV Contrast, Nuc Med Quality Control, Practical CT/MR Physics.
