Description
Computed Body Tomography course focuses on 64-slice MDCT and includes some correlation with Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). This activity offers a series of lectures designed to concentrate on specific topics in-depth. Participants will have the opportunity to expand their knowledge of the latest concepts and principles of spiral/helical CT, thoracic CT, the value of high resolution CT in the chest, the uses of CT in the GI tract, clinical applications of musculoskeletal CT, cardiac, as well as virtual colonoscopy imaging of the oncologic patient.
Target Audience
This activity is intended for radiologists and radiologic technologists.
Objectives
After viewing this activity, the participant will demonstrate the ability to:
- Summarize the latest concepts in the chest and cardiac CT, including coronary artery imaging
- Analyze the newest applications of 64-slice multidetector/multislice CT
- Interpret the clinical applications of CT angiography (CTA)
- Identify the role of CT in GI pathology, including virtual colonoscopy
- Recognize the latest concepts in liver and renal imaging
- Identify the latest principles in CT trauma imaging
- Learn how to perform and interpret virtual colonoscopy
