Pearls, Pitfalls and Protocols: Spring Imaging Update

Pearls, Pitfalls and Protocols: Spring Imaging Update is organized by Penn Medicine - Department of Radiology and will be held from Mar 20 - 24, 2023 at Loews Portofino Bay Hotel at Universal Orlando, Orlando, Florida, United States of America.

Description:
This program will focus on practical imaging issues to improve image interpretation across a wide range of common and uncommon clinical scenarios. Novel and cutting-edge imaging ‘protocols’ will be discussed highlighting potential ‘pitfalls.’ Selected topics in neuroradiology, abdominal, breast, thoracic, musculoskeletal, and pediatric radiology will be covered. There will be daily case conferences emphasizing “misses and misinterpretations.”

Learning Objectives:
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:
• Apply the current advances in radiology for accurate image interpretation of adult and pediatric diseases of the brain, neck, chest, abdomen, and joints
• Design and implement appropriate imaging protocols that optimize diagnostic accuracy and minimize radiation exposure, particularly in the pediatric population
• Describe the role of "supplemental breast screening" in women with dense breast tissue, utilizing “abbreviated breast MRI”
• Describe appropriate screening guidelines and diagnostic workup in special populations, such as breastfeeding and pregnant patients, men, as well as transgender women, and men
• Identify high-yield diagnoses throughout multiple specialties of radiology
• Review common imaging artifacts, anatomic variants, and critical diagnoses and make appropriate management recommendations
