Designed for both the general and specialized radiologist, UCSF Abdominal and Thoracic Imaging is an online CME course providing an extensive review of clinically relevant topics in chest, abdominal, pelvic, and ob-gyn imaging. Speakers discuss interpretation tips for both routine and emerging applications, artificial intelligence and its implications in clinical practice, and more.
You get case-based continuing medical education lectures targeting relevant areas of focus, including:
- Abdominal — female pelvis, acute pelvic pain in the reproductive age female, early and ectopic pregnancy, male pelvis and prostate, gastrointestinal conditions including the liver, and organ transplants
- Thoracic — lung cancer screening, pulmonary embolism, mediastinal masses, chest radiographs, and other findings and indications relevant for the general radiologist
Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this activity, the participant will be able to:
- Recognize complications and diagnostic approach to a pregnant patient, including first trimester viability and placenta accrete spectrum disorder
- Distinguish between benign and malignant conditions of the female pelvis
- Identify and evaluate abdomino-pelvic conditions relevant to the prostate, bowel, uterus, biliary tree, and abdominal transplants
- Valuate acute pelvic pain in both the pregnant and non-pregnant female
- Implement improved thyroid biopsy procedural skills
- Differentiate between typical and atypical appearances of thoracic emergencies and pulmonary infections
- Identify pathologic conditions of benign incidentalomas and mimics in the lungs, heart, and mediastinum
- Implement a multidisciplinary approach to the diagnosis of lung cancer, including lung biopsy techniques
- Utilize and understand the basis and implications of artificial intelligence in clinical practice
- Understand the fundamentals of developing imaging techniques and CT/MR safety
Intended Audience
Radiologists and other medical professionals who will benefit from a greater understanding of image interpretation and diagnosis.
