Neuroimaging in the Adirondacks: The Peaks and Valleys of CNS Imaging

Neuroimaging in the Adirondacks: The Peaks and Valleys of CNS Imaging is organized by Penn Medicine - Department of Radiology and will be held from Sep 26 - 29, 2024 at Mirror Lake Inn, Lake Placid, New York, United States of America.

Description:
This course will cover a spectrum of practical and more advanced brain, head & neck, and spine topics. The topics have been selected based on need-to-know subjects and to illustrate advances in neuroimaging. The focus will be on pattern recognition and interpretation of imaging findings that allow the generation of succinct differential diagnoses and reports that provide actionable information and recommendations for our clinical colleagues and patients. In a series of didactic presentations & case-based sessions, faculty will emphasize image interpretation, modality advances, and the integration of clinical information. Bring your family to rejuvenate in the fresh mountain air with Mother Nature all around you.

Learning Objectives:
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:
• Discuss MR and CT appearances of abnormalities in the brain, neck, spine, and vessels.
• Assess acute, sub-acute, and more chronic conditions of the spine
• Identify and distinguish arterial and venous cerebral infarction. 
• Evaluate neoplasms of the CNS and aerodigestive tract.
• Effectively utilize CT/MRI to evaluate brain pathology.
• Identify and discuss common perceptual and interpretative errors in neuroradiology.
• Discuss issues with image quality, value-based imaging, and innovation in our practices.
