In this comprehensive online CME program, high caliber faculty deliver 119 lectures spanning multiple radiology subspecialties, including Chest, Musculoskeletal, Breast, Gastrointestinal, Ultrasound, Emergency, Genitourinary, Neuroradiology, and Cardiovascular.
World Class CME’s National Diagnostic Imaging Symposium is designed to meet the continuing medical education needs of radiologists — whether in general or specialized care — and radiology residents/fellows who wish to learn to use imaging in a clinical practice setting for screening, diagnosis and staging of injury and disease, including:
- Using CT and MRI to assess injury and disease in the extremities, spine, and cranium
- Applying ultrasound to musculoskeletal, gynecological, obstetrical, cardiovascular, and other organ systems
- Effectively using MDCT and MR imaging to evaluate the abdomen, liver, pancreas, spleen, and bowel
- Improving assessment of genitourinary malignancies, masses, and anomalies using MRI, CT, and US
- Correctly interpreting and staging CT findings in the context of a lung cancer-screening program
- And more…
