Thoracic Imaging CME

Thoracic Imaging CME from the Experts

Thoracic Imaging – 2018 online CME covers a range of topics, including lung cancer screening, diffuse lung diseases, quantitative imaging, big data and deep learning, pulmonary infections, oncologic imaging and interventional management, evidence-based imaging and educational topics, cardiothoracic emergencies, and cardiovascular imaging.  Directed by Cristopher A. Meyer, MD, this continuing medical education course will help you to better:

• Recognize basic concepts in imaging interpretation including pitfalls, anatomic variants and frequently missed diagnoses
• Discuss the role of imaging in the screening, diagnosis, evaluation and management of cardiac diseases, including those affecting coronary arteries and great vessels of the thorax
• Describe current and emerging applications in radiography, CT, MR and PET
• Apply a practical approach to the assessment and management of infectious diseases, mediastinal abnormalities and diffuse lung diseases

Learning Objectives

After viewing this program, participants will be better able to:

• List basic concepts in imaging interpretation including pitfalls, anatomic variants and frequently missed diagnoses
• Summarize the role of imaging in the assessment of cardiac disease, including diseases of the coronary arteries and great vessels of the thorax
• Define the role of imaging in the screening, diagnosis, evaluation and management of patients with lung nodules
• Explain the clinical and radiological evaluation and management strategies of a solitary pulmonary nodule, including the subsolid lesion
• Illustrate current and emerging applications in radiography, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, and positron emission tomography (PET) as they relate to the evaluation and management of thoracic diseases
• Summarize a practical and multi-disciplinary approach to the assessment and management of diffuse lung diseases
• Define current issues in infectious diseases of the chest
• Discuss the current status of interventional procedures of the chest and spectrum of post-treatment changes in the thorax
• Apply basic strategies for the interpretation and management of mediastinal abnormalities

Intended Audience

This course is designed for cardiothoracic radiologists, diagnostic radiologists, pulmonary medicine specialists, cardiothoracic surgeons, and fellows and residents with an interest in cardiothoracic imaging. Because of the prevalence of diseases of the chest in the general population, the course will also be of value to internists and family physicians.
