UCSF Abdominal and Thoracic Imaging 2017

UCSF Abdominal and Thoracic Imaging – University of California San Francisco Clinical Update (SA-CME) is a comprehensive clinical update that goes through the latest advances in abdominal and thoracic Imaging. It is a CME program that is tailored towards radiologists and other medical professionals who will benefit from a greater understanding of image interpretation of the thorax and abdomen. This widely-ranging review of clinically relevant topics in diagnostic imaging covers topics like acute chest imaging, imaging of lung cancer, practical applications of liver, pancreatic and renal imaging, CT colonography, etc.

The clinical update is led by experts in the field of diagnostic imaging and features case-based lectures. The lectures are designed to provide in-depth knowledge and the latest updates on the topics covered. The Abdominal and Thoracic Imaging clinical update is an essential resource that will help you illustrate effective management of acute aorta and common cardiovascular abnormalities, correctly diagnose common and uncommon pancreatic masses, solitary liver masses, and retroperitoneal masses, appraise the management of women with vaginal bleeding and ovarian masses, discuss approaches to dose reduction in diagnostic imaging and attain the latest knowledge for the management of pulmonary nodules, lung cancer, and pulmonary embolism.

UCSF Abdominal and Thoracic Imaging features top medical professionals in radiology who will provide the latest updates on abdominal and thoracic imaging. The lecture series is divided into several sections, and each section focuses on key topics in abdominal and thoracic imaging. Acute Chest Imaging, Abdomen: CT/MR/US, CT Imaging and Radiation Dosage, and The Rest of the Chest are crucial topics in this clinical update. The section that focuses on pediatric cases provides insight into pediatric lumps and bumps, pediatric non-accidental trauma, pediatric appendicitis ultrasound, pediatric female pelvis, and pediatric fracture versus fakeout.

Another topic covered in the clinical update includes Practical Workup of Cystic Pancreatic Masses, Problem Solving Solid Pancreatic Masses, Everything You Need to Know about the Spleen, and Challenging Abdominal Cases. These sessions provide attendees with in-depth knowledge of the abdomen by differentiating between common and atypical pancreatic masses, evaluating small and large bowel in patients with abdominal pain, and differentiating between common solitary liver masses.

UCSF Abdominal and Thoracic Imaging clinical update also focuses on educational objectives. Upon completion of the course, attendees will gain knowledge in managing the acute aorta and common cardiovascular abnormalities, applying the current consensus on pulmonary nodules, lung cancer, and pulmonary embolism, differentiating common solitary liver masses, diagnosing common and atypical pancreatic masses, evaluating the small and large bowel in patients with abdominal pain, managing women with vaginal bleeding and ovarian masses, discussing utilization of imaging and approaches for reducing radiation dose, diagnosing emergent pediatric finding, and developing a CT-based approach for colorectal cancer screening.

The clinical update on Abdominal and Thoracic Imaging is an essential resource for radiologists and medical professionals. The educational activity was designed for radiologists and other medical professionals who would benefit from a greater understanding of the interpretation of abdominal and thoracic images. The video series is released on April 16, 2017, and ends on April 15, 2020.

In conclusion, the UCSF Abdominal and Thoracic Imaging Clinical Update provides medical professionals with the most recent advances in abdominal and thoracic imaging. The program covers various topics ranging from pediatric radiology to CT imaging and Radiation Dosage, and Practical Workup of Cystic Pancreatic Masses among others. This Clinical Update will equip medical professionals with essential knowledge to tackle practical challenges in the field of radiology.
