 \n\nMEETING DESCRIPTION:\nUCSF Radiology is pleased to offer its secon
 d diagnostic imaging course in Washington, DC, featuring helical multi
 -detector row CT (MDCT) and MRI as applied to diseases in the brain, c
 hest, abdomen and pelvis. Newer and established cross-sectional method
 s will be discussed. For MDCT, emphasis will be placed on high-resolut
 ion chest CT, the diagnosis of pulmonary artery and aortic abnormaliti
 es, CTA of the heart and coronary arteries, lung cancer and the solita
 ry nodule, and use of multiplanar reformations (MPRs) for abdomen and 
 pelvis. The use of neutral oral contrast material and proper timing of
  intravenous contrast agent with fast scanning will be emphasized. In-
 depth technical explanation for CT and MR enterography and its results
  will be outlined. For MRI, state-of-the-art techniques will be addres
 sed, especially breath-hold imaging and its results.\n\nThe diagnostic
  challenge of assessing manifestations of various focal and diffuse co
 nditions in pancreas, small bowel and colon will be addressed with MDC
 T. Also, various interventional procedures will be discussed including
  transcatheter embolization techniques, venous interventional procedur
 es and established as well as cutting edge MR applications for image-g
 uided therapy. Practical applications of all these techniques will be 
 stressed and radiological information updated to present-day imaging.\
 n\nEARN SAM CREDIT\nIn addition, an opportunity for completion of two 
 Self-Assessment Modules will be offered. “HRCT of the Interstitial P
 neumonias” (ABR #UCSS02B0608-414) was approved for 1 SAM credit on J
 une 27,2008 and is qualified by the American Board of Radiology in mee
 ting the criteria for self-assessment toward the purpose of fulfilling
  requirements in the ABR Maintenance of Certification Program. The sec
 ond SAM, “Imaging of Pancreatic Tumors” is pending approval for 1 
 SAM credit.\n\nBy the end of this course, the attendee should be able 
 to:\n\n1. Describe the use of MDCTA in the diagnosis of coronary arter
 y, cardiac, aortic, and pulmonary artery abnormalities;\n2. Diagnose a
 irways diseases, common lung diseases, and the idiopathic interstitial
  pneumonias using HRCT;\n3. Identify characteristics of the solitary l
 ung nodule important in diagnosis;\n4. Describe the use of imaging in 
 the diagnosis of traumatic brain injury, brain herniation, and facial 
 trauma;\n5. Identify current techniques for assessing the pancreas, sm
 all bowel and colon by MDCT and MR;\n6. Diagnose the various condition
 s in the small bowel and colon by CT/MR;\n7. Diagnose abnormalities of
  the brain using CT/MR;\n8. Relate current imaging approaches for onco
 logic problems, including lung cancer, upper gastrointestinal and panc
 reatic neoplasms;\n9. Describe the optimal radiological imaging approa
 ches to a large variety of abnormalities and pathological conditions i
 n chest, abdomen and pelvis;\n10. Identify current and updated applica
 tions in interventional radiology including imaging-guided therapy.\n\
