Target Audience

The course material is intended for clinical radiologists in either general or specialized practice, and is appropriate for radiologists in training. Familiarity with the fundamentals of CT, MR, PET, and US technology and applications, as well as basic anatomy, is assumed.

Statement of Need

The continued rapid evolution of technology in CT, MR, PET, and US, with the consequent modification and expansion of clinical applications for these techniques, has resulted in an ongoing need for an annual, all-encompassing course introducing the latest developments in the field, while reviewing and updating established proven applications for these modalities. Additionally, new concepts and understandings regarding common diseases necessitate timely periodic review of clinical disorders. Due to the explosive growth in the field of radiology, it is imperative for practicing radiologists to continually update their skills and gain exposure to new information. Maintenance of certification requires continued review of essential imaging techniques in all areas of radiology, including abdominal, thoracic, musculoskeletal, cardiac, breast and women’s imaging, and neuroradiology.
