MEETING DESCRIPTION:
A quick perusal of the topics offered at the annual meetings of SIIM (formerly SCAR), AHRA, RSNA and other professional organizations associated with Imaging and Information Technologies reflect the continuing emphasis on digital imaging as the “Radiology Department of the future”. The future is now!
Computed Radiography (CR) and Digital Radiography (DR) are rapidly replacing traditional film-based systems. This seminar will introduce the issues involved in implementing and working with CR and DR. The impact on work process and the technologists who are involved in using these technologies will be presented. The discussions encountered in this seminar will limit the “computer-speak” and will draw upon the traditional language of imaging technologists to describe the basic workings of CR, DR and PACS.
The effects on radiography techniques, equipment, and the practice of medical imaging technology will be discussed. The question “How is the evolution of digital imaging and information systems affecting quality control, staffing, training of technologists, and support staff requirements?” will be answered. The requirement for standardization of systems will be addressed.
This seminar provides 8 hours of Category A continuing education credit for radiologic technologists recognized by the ARRT and various licensure states. A certificate of attendance will be provided for each individual upon completion of the course. All attendees must attend the entire course to receive full credit.
