ABOUT THE DVD CME PACK
Educational Symposia is constantly exploring ways to better serve our customers. Subscribers of our DVD CME teaching programs asked for a simpler way to share a DVD Teaching Program. We listened and are excited to introduce the DVD CME Pack.
Here's how it works. Purchase the original DVD teaching program then order as many DVD CME Packs as needed at a significantly reduced price. It really is that simple!
Educational Symposia's innovative DVD CME Packs allow each participating physician to own his/her set of DVDs. Having their own set provides the opportunity to view at their convenience and add to their personal reference library. DVD CME Packs are priced to make it a practical alternative to "waiting in line" to receive the next DVD.
Each DVD CME Pack contains:
-
An entire set of DVDs in a convenient case designed for durability and ease of access
-
One CME application and test
-
A one or two volume syllabus (depending on the series). Syllabus is included in the purchase price but is not enclosed in the DVD CME case.
See order form to order a DVD CME Pack for this series. To order a DVD CME Pack for a previously purchased DVD teaching program, visit us online at www.edusymp.com, call toll free (800) 338-5901.
Multiple CME Subscribers...... Educational Symposia DVD Teaching Programs are accredited for AMA PRA Category 1 CreditsTM for three years from the original release date. Once the initial order is placed, the number of CME applications and/or DVD CME Packs that can be ordered is limitless. Simply call (800) 338-5901 or access our website at www.edusymp.com and reference the name of the person or facility of the originating order. See order form for pricing.

ABOUT THIS DVD TEACHING PROGRAM
Advancements in CT imaging, techniques, and applications have revolutionized the diagnostic evaluation of many clinical disorders. Increased image quality, shorter scan times and lower exposure dose, have provided benefits to both physicians and patients. This DVD teaching program is designed to deliver a practical, clinically relevant review of the progression of CT. Tips, techniques, and expanded clinical applications will be covered. Protocols will be discussed so that you can apply the benefits of
CT to your own clinical practice. The workstation presentations are designed to provide an in depth look into image post-processing and review. When appropriate, comparisons will be made with other modalities.
The faculty has been chosen for their teaching ability, as well as for their expertise.
TARGET AUDIENCE
This CME activity is primarily intended and designed to educate diagnostic imaging physicians. However, the CME activity should also be useful in educating referring physicians who order CT procedures. Subscribers are not required to have any prior CT experience.
OBJECTIVES
At the completion of this DVD CME series, subscribers should be able to:
- Recognize the CT appearance of normal anatomy and common pathology.
- Apply the concepts and applications of contrast enhanced CT to clinical practice.
- Implement appropriate CT colonography protocols into practice.
- Identify appropriate indications for CT in the evaluation of patients with various neurovascular, cardiovascular and body disorders.
- Describe current indications and techniques for evaluation of the spine.
- Incorporate dose minimizing protocols and techniques for CT procedures.
- Integrate CT imaging protocols for the assessment of coronary artery, cardiac and thoracic disease into clinical practice.
No special educational preparation is required for this CME activity.
