Learning Outcomes

Upon complete of the webinar, participants will be able to:

  • illustrate AI algorithm development from training to testing, describing pitfalls and potential biases
  • describe how AI algorithms can be utilized for COVID-19 detection and prognosis using chest imaging data
  • critically appraise available AI algorithms for COVID-19 imaging.

Description:

Artificial intelligence algorithms applied to COVID-19 confirmed patients or subjects under investigation offer the potential to develop a more accurate automated approach for early detection and prognostication using the combination of clinical and imaging data. At the moment, several AI solutions are being developed to be applied in different stages of the COVID-19 diagnostic workflow, from diagnosis to prognosis. In this webinar, we will present the actual status of AI applications in COVID-19 imaging, and we will critically appraise the available AI solutions.

 

Raising the Roof: Responding to a Pandemic MCI

Friday, May 15, 2020

1:00–2:00 pm, Eastern Time

Speakers: Mark P. Bernstein, Eric A. Roberge, and Suzanne Chong

Leading experts in emergency and trauma radiology provide a clinically important primer for health care professionals, as well as hospital systems, responding to the mass casualty incident (MCI) that is the COVID-19 pandemic.

Learning Outcomes

Upon completion of the webinar, participants will be able to:

  • define and differentiate mass casualty incidents (MCIs) by system preparation and clinical practice
  • explain how community efforts to “flatten the curve” of coronavirus infections intersect with health care system strategies to “raise the roof” for patient capacity
  • identify the steps a hospital's incident command system takes to escalate the intensity of disaster response
  • describe imaging department containment and mitigation strategies to ensure the safety of both staff and patients
