7th Annual: Simplified Approach to Head and Neck Radiology: What You Need to Know

March 19, 2011
Dearborn Inn
Dearborn, MI
7.0 AMA PRA Category 1 credits™

Program Objectives:
The purpose of this CME program is to provide information on the basics of head and neck radiology. The curriculum will be some of the most challenging topics in head and neck radiology which include the Larynx; Oral Cavity & Oropharynx; Temporal Bone; Spaces of the Head & Neck and Sinuses. Each topic will consist of lectures that will cover imaging technique, normal anatomy, and common pathology with an emphasis on how the imaging findings directly affect patient management and treatment. Both adult and pediatric pathology will be covered. One of the unique aspects that will separate this program from others will be an emphasis on audience interaction and participation as opposed to structured lectures presented at most CME courses. It is our goal that at the end of the day, participants will say the course was “too basic.” If so, then you will have unwittingly learned and understood a tremendous amount of head & neck radiology!

This year, we will be offering 2 SAMs credit, pending final approval by the American Board of Radiology (ABR). Since the ABR recommends averaging 2 SAMs per year Maintenance of Certification (MOC), the attendee will be able to meet their yearly recommended MOC requirement by attending this course.

Target Audience:

• Radiology residents at all levels of training, but especially 4th year residents preparing for oral boards.
• Neuroradiology fellows preparing for the CAQ examination.
• Community radiologists who wish to gain a better understanding of head & neck radiology.
• Neuroradiologists with a desire to obtain further understanding on how imaging findings directly impact patient care and who wish to review for the CAQ or MOC examination.
• Radiology CT & MR technologists interested in a review of optimizing imaging techniques for head & neck.
• ENT physicians, ENT residents and other physicians who participate in the care of patients with head and neck disorders that would like a concise, one-day refresher course on head & neck imaging.
