The 30th Annual Residents' Radiology Review Course will cover a wide range of topics common to most current diagnostic radiology practices. It is organized in focus sessions ranging from Musculoskeletal, Abdomen/Pelvis, Chest to Neuroradiology/Head and Neck. Some discussions on related image guided interventions can also be found.

The course is designed for senior radiology residents as well as for practicing radiologists who desire a comprehensive review of the entire field of Diagnostic Radiology.

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

• Know the differential diagnosis for congenital and adult cardiac disease.
• Describe criteria for interpretation of nuclear medicine studies including lung scanning, cardiac imaging, gastrointestinal and skeletal imaging. Indications and diagnostic interpretation of PET/CT will be discussed.
• Identify the basic vascular and nonvascular interventional procedures.
• Identify the findings of musculoskeletal pathology including internal derangement of joints, articular disease, trauma and neoplastic processes.
• Describe neurological disease states including intracranial neoplasms, cerebral vascular diseases and findings associated with head trauma.
• Describe and identify disease states of the chest and abdomen in the adult and pediatric patient. Determine which imaging modality is best for the diagnosis of abdominal and pelvic diseases. Know the sonographic manifestations of fetal anomalies. Differentiate normal from abnormal obstetrical sonography.
• Describe abnormal findings on mammography, determine which lesions need further evaluations, and know the BIRAD categories and the correlative management.

Cultural and Linguistic Competency

This activity is in compliance with California Assembly Bill 1195 which requires continuing medical education activities with patient care components to include curriculum in the subjects of cultural and linguistic competency. Cultural competency is defined as a set of integrated attitudes, knowledge, and skills that enables health care professionals or organizations to care effectively for patients from diverse cultures, groups, and communities. Linguistic competency is defined as the ability of a physician or surgeon to provide patients who do not speak English or who have limited ability to speak English, direct communication in the patient's primary language. Cultural and linguistic competency was incorporated into the planning of this activity. Additional resources on cultural and linguistic competency and information about AB1195 can be found on the UCSD CME website at http://cme.ucsd.edu.

It is the policy of the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine to ensure balance, independence, objectivity and scientific rigor. All persons involved in the selection, development and presentation of content are required to disclose any real or apparent conflicts of interest. All conflicts of interest will be resolved prior to an educational activity being delivered to learners through one of the following mechanisms 1) altering the financial relationship with the commercial interest, 2) altering the individual's control over CME content about the products or services of the commercial interest, and/or 3) validating the activity content through independent peer review. All persons are also required to disclose any discussions of off label/unabpproved uses of drugs or devices.

NEEDS ASSESSMENT

This course helps the graduating resident complete his/her knowledge of radiology and prepare for the practice of radiology.  For the practicing radiologist, it offers a comprehensive review of radiology, as well as an update of state of the art imaging and therapy. The need for this course has been emphasized by past registrants in their written and verbal evaluations.
