Description:
Tutorials in Diagnostic Radiology is a postgraduate course designed to update the diagnostic radiologist on new trends, relevant techniques, and applications in diagnostic imaging. The latest advances will be emphasized and related to common problems encountered in clinical practice. A significant portion of the course material will be in a case-based, interactive format to allow a different approach to postgraduate education in diagnostic radiology. An interactive audience response system will be utilized during some course lectures to foster interaction between course faculty and attendees. Two self-assessment modules (SAM) will be offered pending approval from the American Board of Radiology.

The Advanced Radiology Life Support(ARLS)course is designed to focus on the unique, life-threatening emergencies that occur within a radiology department.It is designed to teach prompt recognition and treatment of contrast reactions. The ARLS course will discuss management of the sedated patient and the proper management of an airway in an emergency situation. The administration of contrast in patients with renal insufficiency including contrast induced nephropathy and nephrogenic systemic fibrosis will be discussed. Basic concepts of advanced life support will also be reviewed. This course is fashioned after the Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) course that has been successfully teaching physicians, nurses, and allied health personnel patient management during cardiac arrest. This course will offer the current American Heart Association Basic Life Support (BLS) recertification training materials.
