This CME teaching activity provides an opportunity for you to analyze cases involving the brain, spine, and head and neck with two of the world’s most renowned experts and leading educators in these fields. Dr. Scott W. Atlas and Dr. Peter M. Som discuss over 500 selected brain, spine, and head and neck cases in this intensive, personalized tutorial, highlighting their approaches to the differential diagnosis of these diseases. Drs. Atlas and Som also review pertinent normal anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology, and imaging concepts. The emphasis is on a clinically oriented imaging approach that helps refine differential diagnosis.
This course is designed for neuroradiologists, general radiologists, and clinicians who have an interest in imaging of the brain, spine, and head and neck.
Target Audience
This CME Teaching Activity is intended and designed to offer educational opportunities to radiologists, vascular surgeons, cardiologists, sonographers, and other clinicians interested in learning more about noninvasive vascular ultrasound.
Educational Objectives
At the completion of this CME teaching activity, you should be able to:
- Know the imaging anatomy and protocols that are necessary to arrive at a diagnosis of diseases of the central nervous system and the head and neck.
- Develop differential diagnosis that relates to the pertinent imaging and clinically relevant findings for each of the cases covered in this course.
- Improve the imaging skills of the course participants.
- Integrate information presented in this course into efforts to improve the imaging skills of the participants.
