SUMMARY:19th Annual Spring Diagnostic Imaging Update
DESCRIPTION:Stanford Department of Radiology Presents\n\n19th Annual S
 pring Diagnostic Imaging Update\n\nMarch 21-25, 2011\nGrand Hyatt Kaua
 i\nHawaii\n\nStatement of Need\n\nThis course is designed to provide t
 he tools for participants to enhance interpretation skills utilizing t
 he latest imaging technologies, including CT, MR, PET/CT, SPECT, and u
 ltrasound. Lectures will cover evidence-based practice techniques and 
 protocols for improved diagnostic accuracy in cardiac, neuro, thoracic
 , abdominal and musculoskeletal applications. It will further review n
 ew directions in early cancer detection, dose reduction strategies and
  an assessment of medical imaging technology innovations.\n\nTarget Au
 dience\n\nThis course is intended for practicing radiologists and radi
 ologic nurses, physician assistants, technologists, scientists, reside
 nts, fellows and others who are interested in current techniques and a
 pplications for advanced diagnostic imaging.\n\nLearning Objectives\n\
 n• Apply current indications, protocols and imaging techniques for c
 ardiac evaluation, including strategies to reduce dosage without compr
 omising image quality.\n• Evaluate current technical advances in car
 diac imaging hardware and software, as well as the utilization of thes
 e tools to gain rapid, detailed functional and anatomical information 
 for cardiac assessment.\n• Assess the current indications and utiliz
 ation of advanced imaging technologies to improve cancer detection, st
 aging, guiding interventions, and assessing response to therapy.\n• 
 Optimize protocols and processing parameters for assessing intracrania
 l anatomy and function for potential neural disease cases such as stro
 ke and dementia.\n• Assess the current indications, benefits, and do
 wnsides associated with MR and MDCT imaging of the musculoskeletal sys
 tem, and apply techniques to mitigate artifacts and pitfalls.\n• Eva
 luate current and future technological innovations in imaging, includi
 ng multimodality systems such as SPECT and MR-PET, and clinical advanc
 es in dose reduction and radiation safety strategies.\n• Effectively
  utilize ultrasound and other imaging modalities in the evaluation of 
 gynecologic diseases and complications.\n\n\nAccreditation\n\nThe Stan
 ford University School of Medicine is accredited by the Accreditation 
 Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing
  medical education for physicians.\nCredit Designation:\n\nStanford Un
 iversity School of Medicine designates this educational activity for a
  maximum of 20.50 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)™. Physicians should o
 nly claim credit commensurate with the extent of their participation i
 n the activity.\n\nTechnologists: Please check back for an update on A
 RRT Category A CE credit approval.\n\nFor more information visit https
