This course revives a renowned and classic postgraduate education course dealing with the core of radiology. It gathers some of the major figures in the field. The venue is meant to offer an accessible location, collaborative interactive sessions, and a broad subject matter appealing to the vast majority of radiologists. Speakers are selected for their historical prominence as well as excellence in delivery.

This CME activity is primarily intended and designed to educate diagnostic imaging physicians. It should also be useful in educating referring physicians who order diagnostic imaging procedures, as well as radiologic technologists.

Attendees should, at the completion of this course, be able to:

• Discuss current recommendations/regulations regarding screening examinations utilizing diagnostic imaging
• Discuss the clinical indications and applications of diagnostic imaging in the diagnosis and follow up of cardiac and thoracic disease
• Adapt state-of-the-art imaging protocols and techniques for the evaluation of the abdomen into their clinical practices
• Incorporate state-of-the-art breast imaging protocols and techniques into clinical practice
• More effectively utilize MRI to assess patients with musculoskeletal pathology
• Effectively assess neurological disease/pathology using diagnostic imaging techniques

No special educational preparation is required for this CME activity.

This program is planned and organized by Educational Symposia, the leader in diagnostic imaging education since 1975.

A list of industry supporters was not available at time of printing. This information will be provided and acknowledged at the meeting.
