Penn Medicine – Slopeside Insights: Practical Approaches to Navigating Moguls in Thoracoabdominal and Neurological Imaging

Details

Whether you practice General Radiology or specialize in Breast Imaging, Slopeside Insights offers the ideal opportunity to sharpen your interpretive and diagnostic skills. This dual-course event is designed for radiologists in clinical practice who want to advance their expertise in breast and body imaging.

This case-based course offers clinical radiologists structured, practical approaches to complex imaging diagnoses. Focusing on real-world, algorithmic interpretation rather than disease detail, it provides tools for everyday practice. Led by Penn Radiology subspecialists and guest faculty, the five-day program covers abdominal (2 days), neuro (1 day), and chest imaging (1.5 days) through lectures and interactive case discussions. Held in scenic Vail, Colorado, sessions run in the mornings and late afternoons, giving participants 6.5 hours daily to ski, snowmobile, or relax—an ideal blend of learning and leisure.

Join us onsite for one course—or double your CME credits and experience both programs with our Dual Registration option!

Learning Objectives

After completing this activity, participants should be able to:

• Describe the SRU Lexicon and recognize ectopic pregnancy types to avoid interpretation errors in first first-trimester ultrasound.
• Differentiate consolidation from atelectasis on CT using contrast enhancement, borders, and volume loss.
• Recall common “don’t touch” lesions and anatomic variants in neuroimaging that can mimic pathology and lead to unnecessary biopsy/surgery
• Identify key features to differentiate abdominal cancer mimics from actual malignancy.
• Differentiate a minimally invasive adenocarcinoma from an inflammatory pulmonary lesion.

Target Audience

This course is designed for clinical radiologists and focuses on algorithmic approaches to common approaches through challenging imaging diagnoses encountered in day-to-day clinical practice.
