Our daily half-day program allows you and your family to enjoy Disney and other attractions or simply unwind with well-deserved R&R.
Learning Objectives:
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:
- Apply the current advances in radiology for accurate image interpretation of common and uncommon diseases across multiple radiologic subspecialties.
- Design and implement appropriate imaging protocols to optimize diagnostic accuracy and minimize pitfalls.
- Review updated classification of CNS neoplasms, and provide practical tips to distinguish tumor progression from treatment effects and tumor mimics.
- Apply ACR diagnostic criteria to thyroid (TI-RADS), adnexal lesions (O-RADS), and liver (LI-RADS).
- Learn how to improve diagnostic accuracy across a spectrum of benign and malignant breast pathologies, including imaging of special populations.
- Discuss the framework for developing a differential diagnosis for diffuse lung diseases.
