Course Description
This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of practicing radiologists and radiologic nurses, physician assistants, technologists, scientists, residents, fellows involved in the care of patients using abdominal imaging.
Educational Objectives
At the conclusion of this activity, participants should better be able to:
• Describe the availability and use of decision-support tools for radiologists, to facilitate making more accurate and clinically useful diagnoses.
• Create an interactive learning environment in which the registrants will be challenged to diagnose a large number of common and less common disorders by specific imaging tests with appropriate clinical correlation.
• Describe the appropriate use of imaging modalities including CT, MR, sonography and fluoroscopy for the most important abdominal disorders likely to be confronted by radiologists.
• Emphasize the need for critical thinking and judicious use of imaging, laboratory, and clinical testing.
• Provide an opportunity for extensive discussion, questions, and feedback between the registrants and speaker.
