Radiology After Hours: Acute Diagnoses on Evenings and Weekends 2022

Radiology After Hours: Acute Diagnoses on Evenings and Weekends 2022 is organized by Penn Medicine - Department of Radiology and will be held from Mar 06 - 09, 2022 at Fairmont Mayakoba, Riviera Maya, Quintana Roo, Mexico.

Description:
With rapid changes in health care and recent technological advances, the demand for real-time imaging interpretation 24 hours-a-day, seven-days-a-week has steadily increased. As a result, radiologists in most practices and academic centers have been asked to provide after-hours, ‘final’ interpretations. This course is designed for general and sub-specialized radiologists who are working these non-traditional schedules, including rotating after-hours shift work, have dedicated evening and overnight radiology shifts, take call on weekends and are required to interpret studies in areas that are different from their weekday routine.

Over four days, faculty will provide participants with practical information to enhance image acquisition and interpretation skills and identify the best modality for a given clinical presentation. Selected topics within neuroradiology, head and neck imaging, abdominal imaging, musculoskeletal radiology, chest, and pediatric radiology will be covered. Daily case conferences and the opportunity to earn SAM credits are included.

Learning Objectives:
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:
• Rapidly determine the appropriate imaging study to perform in the acute setting
• Identify common and uncommon clinical conditions encountered in the after-hours setting
• Select the correct imaging protocol particularly for pediatric emergencies to optimize diagnostic accuracy and minimize radiation
• Explain how to handle incidental findings and make appropriate management recommendations.
