Overview
This course offers a comprehensive review of thoracic imaging covering the pulmonary, vascular and cardiac systems. The content is designed to serve as a review and update for all radiologists who interpret thoracic imaging studies. The diverse uses of CT will be the major focus, and will include PET, MRI and radiography correlations.
The course will feature concise, shorter lectures to allow for a greater cross-section of thoracic topics and up-to-date information. Recent updates of established clinical guidelines will be emphasized, including lung cancer screening, management of pulmonary nodules, and a review of high-resolution CT of the lung in the context of updated diagnostic criteria for interstitial pneumonias.
Other lectures will provide general reviews of thoracic topics with a focus on synthesis of cardiac and pulmonary findings in patients presenting with acute symptoms (i.e. pulmonary embolism, acute aortic syndromes, cardiac disease) and post-operative patients. A practical approach will be stressed in all lectures, so as to be useful to radiologists from all types of clinical practice.
Objectives
- Interpret high-resolution CT scans of the lungs and provide focused differential diagnoses;
- Apply a practical approach to the imaging of lung infections;
- Identify typical manifestations of acute and chronic aortic diseases;
- Utilize cross-sectional imaging in the evaluation of pulmonary embolism;
- Differentiate benign vs. malignant lung nodules/masses on CT and PET;
- Implement the use of CT and PET in the evaluation and staging of lung cancer.
