The University of Chicago Radiology Review conference is a case-based, comprehensive look at new developments and updates. Led by renowned radiologist Daniel E. Appelbaum, MD, it covers a wide array of topics like imaging ischemic stroke, orbits, brain vascular malformations, spine tumors, white matter diseases, pediatric thorax, bone tumors, and more.
In addition to outlining diagnostic tips, techniques, and pitfalls, this program will help you to better:
- Identify clinical features of common and uncommon diseases to create a differential diagnosis
- Integrate evidence-based techniques for performing electrodiagnostic tests into practice
- Define the role of novel imaging methods in reaching the correct diagnosis
- Evaluate the most effective imaging methods for different disease entities
- Appraise the strengths and limitations of diverse diagnostic imaging techniques
- Describe the impact of emerging technology and the growing healthcare system on the practice of radiology
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
After this activity, the participant will be able to:
- Identify the clinical features of common and less common diseases to create appropriate differential diagnoses;
- Discuss how both general and subspecialty radiologic imaging techniques lead to the appropriate differential diagnoses of common and less common diseases;
- Detail how the newer imaging methods of breast tomosynthesis, diffusion MR, tractography, cardiac CT/MR, virtual colonoscopy, PET/CT, SPECT/CT, and PET/MR can lead to improved diagnoses;
- Compare the most effective imaging methods of different disease entities;
- Analyze the strengths and limitations of different diagnostic imaging procedures;
- Describe how technology and the greater healthcare system affect the practice of radiology.
