Overview
This week-long course is designed for radiologists in clinical practice and is intended to provide an overview of common clinical concerns in diagnosis. Lectures will focus on practical tips, pointers and recognition of potential pitfalls that will aid the radiologist in the safe interpretation of images in the daily setting. Subspecialties covered will include cutting-edge topics in abdominal, thoracic, neuro, musculoskeletal, breast and interventional imaging, as well as the appropriate utilization of CT, MR and US in the corresponding organ systems.
Objectives
At the completion of this course, the attendee should be able to:
- Recognize common imaging pitfalls, including after abdominal interventions, in patients with suspected pulmonary embolism, after musculoskeletal injury, and in patients being screened for breast cancer;
- Apply knowledge of the strengths and weakness of various imaging modalities with a focus on multimodality imaging;
- Differentiate between common and uncommon masses involving the brain and spinal cord, with an emphasis on providing value to the neurosurgeon;
- Distinguish normal post-treatment appearance from recurrent malignancy following surgical intervention, radiation therapy, and ablations in the chest and abdomen;
- Optimize scanning parameters for imaging in pregnancy and in patients with implanted hardware;
- Practice with an improved knowledge of humanism in the field of radiology with attention to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
