Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/6c4e24/abdominal_thorac) has announced the addition of the "Abdominal & Thoracic CT/MR/US: Optimizing Practice" training to their offering.
Evolving technology improves radiological practice through improved image quality for anatomical interpretation and generation of functional data. The use of MDCT and fast, multi-phase imaging sequences also translates to a tremendous increase in data that requires review and handling and greater need for contrast and radiation safety awareness. This activity targets the community radiologist involved in body and cardiovascular imaging with a focus on developing an efficient workflow practice in the modern imaging environment.
Learning Objectives
At the completion of this activity, the participant should have increased knowledge of current imaging technology and procedure protocols applicable to body imaging including:
- Current limitations and opportunities for radiology information technology
- Management of contrast nephropathy
- Basics of MRI safety
- Optimizing the yield from US- and CT- guided biopsy
- Optimal cross-sectional techniques for imaging liver disease
- Practical imaging approach to the pancreas
- Appropriate use of cross-sectional imaging in the female pelvis
- Essential tips for virtual colonoscopy and cross-sectional imaging of the colon
- Current concepts in cardio-thoracic imaging
Accreditation
The University of California, San Francisco School of Medicine (UCSF) is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education for physicians.
Credit Designation
UCSF designates this educational activity for a maximum of 17.75 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits. Physicians should only claim credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.
The total credits are inclusive of 7 in CT, 3.25 in MR, and 3.25 in Ultrasound.
