Explore Key Topics in Abdominal and Thoracic Imaging

This CME program is a wide-ranging review of clinically relevant topics in diagnostic imaging. UCSF Abdominal and Thoracic Imaging includes case-based lectures on topics like acute chest imaging, imaging of lung cancer, practical applications of liver, pancreatic and renal imaging, CT colonography, etc. It will help you to:

• Illustrate effective management of acute aorta and common cardiovascular abnormalities
• Correctly diagnose common and uncommon pancreatic masses, solitary liver masses, and retroperitoneal masses
• Appraise the management of women with vaginal bleeding and ovarian masses
• Discuss approaches to dose reduction in diagnostic imaging
• Attain the latest knowledge for the management of pulmonary nodules, lung cancer, and pulmonary embolism
