Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis in Images: Interpreting HRCT and Identifying the UIP Pattern - Kansas City

Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis in Images: Interpreting HRCT and Identifying the UIP Pattern is Jointly organized by Rockpointe Corporation and Potomac Center for Medical Education and would be held on Apr 1, 2017 at Missouri Radiological Society, Sheraton Kansas City Hotel at Crown Center, Kansas City, Missouri, United States of America. The target audience for this medical event are radiologists involved in the diagnosis of lung diseases. This CME conference has been approved with a maximum of 1.0 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit.

Use of a multidisciplinary team approach to the diagnosis and care of patients with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) has been shown to improve treatment and outcomes. However, patients with IPF continue to suffer unacceptable delays in diagnosis and initiation of optimal treatments. High-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) is recommended for all patients suspected to have idiopathic interstitial pneumonias (IIPs), as it can allow for a confident determination of disease without an invasive, and often risky, lung biopsy. Radiologists are essential for early diagnosis of IPF and improved patient outcomes since clinicians rely on their accurate interpretation of HRCT scans.
