Format: 32 Video Files + 1 PDF File
About This CME Teaching Activity
This CME activity is a comprehensive practical review of body CT imaging. The program is a detailed analysis from basic applications to more advanced protocols and new imaging techniques. Emerging technologies, pitfalls and recent technical enhancements designed to reduce radiation dose are discussed.
Target Audience
The CME activity is primarily intended and designed to educate diagnostic imaging physicians. It should also be useful for referring physicians who order these studies so that they might gain a greater appreciation of the strengths and limitations of clinically relevant CT studies.
Educational Objectives
At the completion of this CME teaching activity, you should be able to:
- Recognize the CT appearance of normal anatomy and common pathology of the abdomen and chest.
- Discuss the utility of CT and CTA in the diagnosis and evaluation of abdominal trauma.
- Differentiate benign and malignant nodules in the chest, liver, pancreas and kidneys.
- Optimize body CT protocols.
