Body Imaging: Abdominal, Thoracic and Vascular
University of California, San Francisco, Department of Radiology
|
|
Course Director: Judy Yee, MD
This program is designed for the radiologist in clinical practice, and is intended to provide an overview and update on clinically relevant topics in diagnostic imaging and interventional techniques.
There is an up-to-date assessment of the clinical uses of imaging modalities in the diagnosis of diseases of the chest, abdomen, and vascular system. Hot topics include cardiac imaging, multidetector CT, CT/MR angiography, virtual colonoscopy, and tumor ablation.

Program Information
The program provides:
- A review of thoracic abnormalities including CT assessment of the solitary pulmonary nodule, CT diagnosis of large and small airways disease, the imaging of lung cancer and pleural abnormalities, and thoracic cardiovascular diseases, including aortic disease, pulmonary embolism, coronary artery disease, and cardiac disease. Uses of multidetector CT and MRI is discussed
- A practical approach to high-resolution lung CT and an update on the classification of diffuse lung diseases
- A better understanding of the imaging diagnosis of abdominal and pelvic abnormalities, including pancreatic tumors, benign and malignant liver lesions, biliary disease, the use of CT and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography, and the imaging of adrenal and renal masses and gynecological malignancies
- A practical approach to state-of-the-art imaging techniques such as CT angiography, virtual colonoscopy and the newest interventional procedures including tumor ablation and arterial and venous interventions
