This activity provides a practical, comprehensive review of the important aspects of clinical MRI/MRA of the head & spine. Physicians practicing neuroradiography utilizing MRI should expand their knowledge base and obtain additional information on safe and efficient scanning protocols.
Target Audience
This CME activity designed to educate physicians who supervise and interpret neurological MRI studies. This CME activity 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 neuroradiology.
Educational Objectives
At the completion of this CME teaching activity, you should be able to:
- Optimize imaging protocols and techniques to effectively assess CNS pathology.
- Discuss the expanded role of MRI/MRA of the brain and spine.
- Review and recognize the diverse pathology that affects the brain and spine.
- Describe evolving MRI applications and techniques used to evaluate the brain and spine.
No special educational preparation is required for this CME activity.
