MEETING DESCRIPTION:
UCSF Radiology is pleased to offer its fi rst diagnostic imaging course on a cruise
aboard the Regent Seven Seas Mariner from Vancouver to Seward/Anchorage,
Alaska. The course will feature multi-detector row CT (MDCT) and MRI as it applies to diseases in the abdomen, musculoskeletal system and nervous system. The course will include newer and established cross-sectional methods taught by international leaders in radiology.

For MDCT, emphasis will be placed on facial, orbital and head trauma as well as abdominal disease, including the set-up and interpretation of virtual colonoscopy. Radiologists face diagnostic challenges when assessing manifestations of various liver and pancreatic masses and CT angiography of the aorta and stent grafts. This course is designed to enhance your abilities to meet these challenges. In addition, learn the latest information on the use of MRI for neuro, trauma and joint imaging plus updates on the shoulder, knee, ankle and foot.

This course is appropriate for all radiologists and technologists in clinical practice or in an academic environment. Referring clinicians such as neurosurgeons, orthopaedic surgeons, rheumatologists, internists, and internal medicine subspecialists may also find the content useful to their practices.
