Description
Maintaining certification requires not only medical knowledge to deliver quality care, but also other essential elements that must be developed and maintained throughout every radiologist’s career. Therefore, this activity serves as a comprehensive review of neuroradiology and prepares the participants to tackle imaging of the brain, spine, head and neck, as well as the vascular anatomy of the central nervous system.
It is conducted in the form of didactic lectures, supplemented with case reviews, by experts in the field. The overall emphasis is on practical knowledge, specifically in preparation for maintenance of certification requirements for radiologists and subspecialty certification in neuroradiology. In addition, advanced imaging techniques and applications are presented to acquaint all participants with the state-of-the-art developments in the field of radiological science.
Target Audience
This activity is intended for radiologists and neuroradiologists, radiology residents and fellows, neurologists, neurosurgeons, and otorhinolaryngologists.
Objectives
After viewing this activity, the participants will demonstrate the ability to:
- Accurately describe degenerative disorders of the spine using standard nomenclature
- Describe the fundamentals of advanced imaging modalities in the analysis of neurological disorders
- Identify the head and neck cancer spread patterns including nodal metastases and provide imaging assessments that assist in their comprehensive management
- Provide a clinically helpful differential diagnosis of neoplastic, inflammatory and infectious lesions in the brain and spine
- Diagnose the developmental, neoplastic, and non-neoplastic lesions of the brain, spine, and neck in children
- Recognize the indications and methods of vertebroplasty, spinal biopsy, and spinal injections
