Description:

Enhance Interpetation Skills

The goal of the UCSF Abdomen & Pelvis: CT/MR/US CME program is to enhance intepretation of body imaging skills and improve clinical practice. This is achieved through a review of state-of-the-art imaging methods and evidence-based practice in CT, MRI and Ultrasound as they pertain to gastrointestinal, genitourinary and gynecologic systems.

Learn how to:

• Apply the ACR recommendations for managing incidental CT-scan findings in the kidney, liver, adrenal gland and pancreas
• Identify indications for the use of different imaging modalities (CT/MRI/US) for various abdomino-pelvic organs and conditions
• Apply practical approaches to diagnosing both benign and malignant diseases of the abdomen and pelvis
• Anticipate potential pitfalls in abdominal-pelvic imaging and interpretation

Discover New Guidelines

A comprehensive clinical update, this learn-at-your-own-pace course in radiology provides up to 11.5 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits ™. Available online, it provides access to unbiased, evidence-based content and case-based reviews so you can expand your knowledge and incorporate the latest guidelines into your daily practice.

Accreditation

The University of California, San Francisco School of Medicine (UCSF) is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education for physicians.

Designation

UCSF designates this educational activity for a maximum of 11.5 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits ™. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity. The total credits are inclusive of 4.0 in CT, 3.5 in MR, 2.75 in Ultrasound, and 0.50 in PET.

Series Release: May 1, 2018
Series Expiration: April 30, 2021 (deadline to register for credit)

CME credit is obtained upon successful completion of an activity post-test and evaluation, as well as payment of a $45 processing fee. CME Credit registration forms must be submitted prior to series expiration date. Certificates will be dated upon receipt and cannot be dated retroactively.

Learning Objectives

At the completion of this course, you should be able to:

• Discuss management of incidental findings
• Identify indications for the use of different imaging modalities (CT/MRI/US) for various abdomino-pelvic organs and conditions
• Apply practical approaches to diagnosing both benign and malignant diseases of the abdomen and pelvis
• Anticipate potential pitfalls in abdomino-pelvic imaging and interpretation
• Participants of the workshop are expected to learn a) the basic requirements for adequate prostate MR imaging acquisition and b) the use of PIRADS for imaging interpretation

Intended Audience

The activity was designed to help the radiologist determine the indications for the different imaging modalities used for the abdomen and pelvis, as well as indications for secondary imaging studies.
