OVERVIEW
Thoracic and Cardiovascular Categorical Course is organized by American Institute for Radiologic Pathology (AIRP) and will be held during Apr 02 - 05, 2018 at AFI Silver, Silver Spring, Maryland, United States of America. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 27 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits.
Course Description :
The depiction of disease processes by current imaging has advanced extensively in recent years. This exquisite identification of various abnormalities by cross-sectional imaging, particularly CT and MR, further emphasizes the need to understand the pathologic basis of disease as we are now often illustrating this correlation directly.
This course is designed to illustrate basic concepts and radiologic?pathologic correlation in chest imaging in order to enhance practitioner knowledge and skills. Lack of understanding of the underlying pathology can lead to misinterpretation of radiologic images and the potential to overlook important complications such as a neoplastic recurrence.
Course Objectives :
• Identify imaging characteristics of lesions involving the chest and cardiovascular system that allow for narrowing of the differential diagnosis
• Illustrate how the underlying pathology of the lesion contributes to its imaging characteristics
• Highlight those chest diseases in which radiologic imaging is key for accurate diagnosis
Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
