1st Annual American Society of Pediatric Neuroradiology (ASPNR) Meeting

1st Annual American Society of Pediatric Neuroradiology (ASPNR) Meeting is organized by American Society of Pediatric Neuroradiology (ASPNR) and will be held from Jan 18 - 20, 2019 at Royal Sonesta Hotel, New Orleans, Louisiana, United States of America. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 18.00 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits.

Target Audience :
• General radiologists seeking to improve their understanding and skills in pediatric neuroimaging
• Pediatric radiologists and general neuroradiologists who want t expand their fund of knowledge in pediatric neuroimaging
• Pediatric neuroradiologists who want to learn about current issues and advances in our field
• Non-radiologists who are interested in understanding the neuroimaging perspectives of pediatric neurologic and head/neck/spine disease
• Allied health professionals interested in learning more about the practical aspects of pediatric neuroimaging and emerging research
• Physicians in training, residents, and fellows interested in pediatric neuroradiology

Educational Objectives :
At the completion of the meeting, attendees should:
• Understand normal maturational changes of the nervous system from the fetus through childhood
• Understand the diagnostic nuances of neonatal brain injury
• Know the current recommendations for management of emergent pediatric cerebrovascular disorders
• Be aware of emerging considerations to practice changes in pediatric neuroradiology regarding sedation, contrast administration, protocoling, and performing CT/MR
• Know what new and advanced neuroimaging techniques are available in the clinical and research setting
• Be aware of how artificial intelligence and machine learning are being incorporated into diagnostic neuroimaging as part of precision medicine in the pediatric setting
• Be able to identify neuroimaging signs concerning for abusive head trauma and communicate findings effectively to clinicians and in the courtroom
• Understand the changes to the diagnosis and nomenclature of pediatric neurologic disease processes as a result of advances in molecular genetics
