CBMD Advanced ADT - Webcast
WebcastOVERVIEW
Canadian Bone Mineral Densitometry (CBMD) Advanced Accredited Densitometry Technologist (ADT) is organized by Ontario Association of Radiologists (OAR) and will be held on May 05, 2018.
Course Description:
This course is designed for technologists who wish to enhance their understanding of the Canadian Association of Radiologists Guidelines for the performance and reporting of Bone Mineral Densitometry and how these are used to achieve standardization in reporting of examination results, and for those who wish to enhance their individual performance in providing BMD services and to ensure the highest level of QA/QC standards in their departments.
Course Objectives:
• Apply to their daily practice, the appropriate quality control and quality assurance protocols that will ensure accuracy in the acquisition and analysis of BMD data
• Apply to their daily practice, positioning techniques and scan acquisition “tips and tricks” for unusual and difficult adult and paediatric cases
• Have an understanding of the critical role of the imaging physician in monitoring the technologist’s performance of DXA
• Identify, review and discuss the critical elements of the bone density report and have an understanding of the critical importance of implementing the Canadian Association of Radiologists Guidelines for the performance and reporting of Bone Mineral Densitometry
• Review and discuss how radiologists and nuclear medicine physicians use the CAR guidelines to determine diagnostic category and 10-year absolute fracture risk
• Have an understanding of the importance of precision and how radiologists and nuclear medicine physicians use the CAR guidelines to achieve the proper application of the facilities Least Significant Change (LSC) in follow-up scans to monitor changes in BMD
• Explain how the CAR guidelines can be used to avoid pitfalls in the reporting of DXA to facilitate BMD reports that are accurate, easier to read and understand, and which provide the referring physician with a better understanding of the patient’s bone health.
Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
