UCSF Radiology Review – Comprehensive Imaging 2021 (Videos)

Comprehensive Imaging Review for Radiology Professionals

Overview

The UCSF Radiology Review provides a comprehensive overview of imaging techniques and their applications in diagnosing and managing various medical conditions. It consists of in-depth case-based sessions covering major organ systems, along with focused lectures on physics, radiation safety, cardiac imaging, nuclear medicine, and interventional procedures.

Target Audience

This online CME course is designed for general radiologists and radiologists in training seeking to enhance their knowledge and skills in diagnostic imaging.

Educational Objectives

Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to:

• Identify imaging fundamentals for each radiology sub-specialty (organ systems).
• Prescribe appropriate utilization of imaging modalities (CT, MR, US, Mammography, Nuc Med) for different medical conditions.
• Implement appropriate imaging protocols for routine clinical presentations.
• Recognize indications and markers for interventional procedures and assess their outcomes.
• Apply classifications of pathophysiological mechanisms to aid differential diagnosis.
• Refine imaging criteria to optimize image quality/findings and improve diagnostic interpretation.
