Society of Thoracic Radiology (STR) Thoracic Imaging 2023: Annual Meeting and Postgraduate Course

Society of Thoracic Radiology (STR) Thoracic Imaging 2023: Annual Meeting and Postgraduate Course is organized by the Society of Thoracic Radiology (STR) and will be held from Mar 05 - 08, 2023 at The Charleston Place, Charleston, South Carolina, United States of America.

Statement of Need:
Radiologists and practitioners with an interest in the science and practice of cardiothoracic imaging need to acquire comprehensive knowledge of the diagnosis, imaging, and management of affected patients to achieve excellence in the delivery of care.

Course Objectives:
• Discuss and illustrate established guidelines for the diagnosis and management of cardiothoracic diseases 
• Explain the role and new advances in imaging of cardiovascular diseases, including those affecting the coronary arteries, valves, myocardium, aorta, and pulmonary vasculature 
• Establish the importance of a multidisciplinary approach for diagnosing and treating patients with interstitial lung disease, lung nodules, and lung cancer 
• Recognize the role of imaging in lung cancer screening 
• Review imaging of patients with cardiopulmonary disease in acute, post-operative, and emergency scenarios 
• Identify pitfalls encountered in the performance and interpretation of cardiothoracic imaging studies such as those directed toward lung nodules, interstitial lung disease, radiograph interpretation, and cardiovascular diseases 
• Describe current and emerging CT and MR techniques for both thoracic and cardiac applications and computer-aided methods such as artificial intelligence, radio mics, and quantitative analysis
• Review quality improvement, workflow, faculty development, wellness initiatives, and topics applicable to clinical practice
