ARRS A Practical and Current Approach for Managing Incidental Findings

Health care reforms are having many major impacts on both the practice and the economics of medical imaging. Central to this issue is the need to transform from the pay-for-service to a value-added paradigm. Managing incidental, likely asymptomatic, imaging findings remains a relevant theme, driving metrics for efficiency and appropriateness. This Online Course identifies and addresses the wide spectrum of incidental findings that occur via contemporary, evidence-based approaches to help standardize how they should be managed. In addition to 10 modules of online lectures, you will also receive the accompanying book—shipped to you at no extra cost.
