OVERVIEW
The 30th Anniversary ASER 2018 Annual Scientific Meeting and Postgraduate Course in Emergency and Trauma Radiology is organized by American Society of Emergency Radiology (ASER) and will be held from Sep 26 - 29, 2018 at Hilton McLean Tysons Corner, Mclean, Virginia, United States of America. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 32 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits.
Course Overview and Intended Audience:
The 2018 ASER Annual Meeting will provide a broad overview
of current state-of-the-art imaging techniques to evaluate the
acutely ill and injured patient. Educational sessions covering the
latest advances and trends in emergency and trauma radiologic
diagnosis and sessions presenting new and original scientific work
are included. The meeting provides an opportunity to meet with
international colleagues and discuss new and challenging aspects
of emergency and trauma imaging.
The meeting is of particular interest and importance to clinical radiologists, both in the
community and academic centers, delivering emergency care. Subspecialists in emergency
radiology, neuroradiology, musculoskeletal radiology, chest and abdominal radiology, radiology
residents and fellows, and emergency physicians at all levels of training will also find the
educational and scientific material presented at the ASER meeting essential to their core and
on-call knowledge base.
UPDATE! The Trauma Head-to-Toe course held on the last two days of the meeting is well suited
for radiology residents preparing for emergency radiology coverage and is an excellent
review for all radiologists covering trauma centers.
Meeting Goals and Learning Objectives:
At the conclusion of the course, attendees should be able to:
• Select the most appropriate imaging approaches to allow prompt assessment of the injured and acutely ill patient.
• Apply optimal techniques to the acquisition of various imaging examinations commonly used in the emergency setting, maximizing diagnostic potential and considering patient safety.
• Develop and utilize a systematic approach to the assessment of traumatic injuries and non-traumatic acute diseases, from head to toe.
• Understand and be better able to implement the requirements for delivering continuous high
quality care in an emergency radiology service, as well as throughout the unique circumstances
that accompany mass casualty incidents.
• Apply the latest imaging technologies and techniques for the investigation of the acutely ill or
injured patient in the ED (e.g. Dual Energy CT, MRI, Ultrasound and trauma whole-body CT).
Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
