The University of Chicago Radiology Review 2019 (Videos+PDFs)

Explore Key Topics

The University of Chicago Radiology Review is a case-based, comprehensive look at new developments and updates. Led by renowned radiologist Daniel E. Appelbaum, MD, it covers a wide array of topics like imaging ischemic stroke, orbits, brain vascular malformations, spine tumors, white matter diseases, pediatric thorax, bone tumors, and more. In addition to outlining diagnostic tips, techniques and pitfalls, this CME program will help you to better:

• Identify clinical features of common and uncommon diseases to create a differential diagnosis
• Integrate evidence-based techniques for performing electrodiagnostic tests into practice
• Define the role of novel imaging methods in reaching the correct diagnosis
• Evaluate the most effective imaging methods for different disease entities
• Appraise the strengths and limitations of diverse diagnostic imaging techniques
• Describe the impact of emerging technology and the growing healthcare system on the practice of radiology
• Confront challenging issues in the practice of radiology

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, the participant will be able to:

• Identify the clinical features of common and less common diseases to create an appropriate differential diagnoses
• Discuss how both general and subspecialty radiologic imaging techniques lead to the appropriate differential diagnoses of common and less common diseases
• Detail how the newer imaging methods of breast tomosynthesis, diffusion MR, tractography, cardiac CT/MR, virtual colonoscopy, PET/CT, SPECT/CT, and PET/MR can lead to improved diagnoses
• Compare the most effective imaging methods of different disease entities
• Analyze the strengths and limitations of different diagnostic imaging procedures
• Describe how technology and the greater healthcare system affect the practice of radiology
