UCSF Abdominal and Thoracic Imaging

University of California San Francisco Clinical Update (SA-CME)
Stay current on the latest advances in Abdominal and Thoracic Imaging with this comprehensive clinical update from the experts at UCSF.

Explore Key Topics in Abdominal and Thoracic Imaging
This CME program is a wide-ranging review of clinically relevant topics in diagnostic imaging. UCSF Abdominal and Thoracic Imaging includes case-based lectures on topics like acute chest imaging, imaging of lung cancer, practical applications of liver, pancreatic and renal imaging, CT colonography, etc. It will help you to:

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
Attain the latest knowledge for the management of pulmonary nodules, lung cancer, and pulmonary embolism
