23rd Annual Conference: 2018 Radiology Review

23rd Annual Conference: 2018 Radiology Review is organized by The University of Chicago - Center for Continuing Medical Education and will be held during Apr 30 - May 04, 2018 at Hyatt Centric Chicago Magnificent Mile, Chicago, Illinois, United States of America.

The target audience for this medical event is radiologists interested in a comprehensive review of diagnostic radiology. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 47.75 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits.

Course Description:
Comprehensive review and update of the practical aspects of all major subspecialties of Diagnostic Radiology. Our experts are chosen for their excellence as teachers and they will share their clinical expertise and insight to help you improve your performance and practice. They will guide you to appropriate use of conventional imaging modalities such as plain film radiography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound, nuclear medicine and angiography; and when appropriate, they will emphasize newer important imaging modalities including PET/CT, diffusion weighted MR, cardiac CT, and virtual colonoscopy. Current and future trends in radiology healthcare economics will also be explored. Major emphasis will be placed on the practical and clinical aspects of Diagnostic Radiology. Diagnostic tips, techniques and pitfalls will be stressed and differential diagnoses of common radiological findings will be covered. Unknown case reviews will be held after each section allowing participants to test themselves in a relaxed atmosphere. These popular sessions will stress practical clinical problems and differential diagnoses. Audience Response System (ARS) technology will be used throughout the course and many Self-Assessment Credits (SAMs) will be offered.

Conference Objectives are :
• After participating in this conference, participants will be able to:
• Identify the clinical features of common and less common diseases to create an appropriate differential diagnoses;
• Discuss how both general and subspecialty radiologic imaging techniques lead to the appropriate differential diagnoses of common and less common diseases;
• Detail how the newer imaging methods of breast tomosynthesis, diffusion MR tractography, cardiac CT/MR, virtual colonoscopy, PET/CT, SPECT/CT, and PET/MR can lead to improved diagnoses;
• Compare the most effective imaging methods of different disease entities;
• Analyze the strengths and limitations of different diagnostic imaging procedures;
• Describe how technology and the greater healthcare system affect the practice of radiology.
