2010 Annual Meeting — Categorical Course

 

Practical Approaches to Common Clinical Conditions: Efficient Imaging (PAC3E) — Setting the PAC3E of Imaging

Course Directors: Ruth C. Carlos, MD; Yoshimi Anzai, MD; C. Craig Blackmore, MD, PhD; Paul P. Cronin, MD; L. Santiago Medina, MD, MPH

Registration and a separate fee are required for this course.

Who Should Attend: Radiologists, radiologists-in-training and other health professionals interested in practical and efficient application of imaging in the evaluation of common cardiothoracic, neuroradiologic, pediatric, and emergency radiology conditions.

Goals and Objectives: Following completion of the program, participants should have an understanding of practical approaches for appropriate use of imaging in the wide spectrum of diseases and disorders affecting the heart, lungs, brain, spine, gastrointestinal tract and musculoskeletal system for efficient evidence-based management of adult and pediatric patients in the ambulatory and emergency settings.
