Imaging at Snowmass

Imaging at Snow Mass

The Imaging at Snowmass course is designed to provide the tools for participants to enhance interpretation skills utilizing the latest imaging technologies. Lectures and cases will cover evidence-based practice techniques and protocols for improved diagnostic accuracy in multiple applications.

At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be able to:

• Assess the current status and future applications of advanced breast imaging technologies.
• Optimize imaging methods to reduce the number of false-positive mammography interpretations.
• Evaluate current and future technological innovations in imaging, including multimodality systems such as SPECT and MR-PET, and clinical advances in dose reduction and radiation safety strategies.
• Explain the performance and processing of MRI and CT studies designed to depict anatomy and pathology.
• Describe the imaging anatomy and protocols that are necessary to arrive at a diagnosis of intracranial diseases.
• Develop differential diagnosis that relates to the pertinent imaging and clinically relevant findings for each of the cases covered in this course.
• Outline the fundamentals of the latest advanced techniques in MRI and CT and their current roles and limitations in clinical practice.
• Integrate information presented in this course into efforts to improve the imaging skills of the participants.

Snowmass mountain's 3,100 acres of ski terrain-ranking second in the state-allows for plenty of wide-open skiing. It's 4,406 vertical feet includes 21 lifts, 91 trails, and nine restaurants.
