Johns Hopkins Medicine Continuing Medical Education The Russell H. Morgan Department of Radiology and Radiological Science Presents Essentials in Multidetector CT and CTA for the Technologist October 7 Ð 10, 2010 Caesars Palace ¥ Las Vegas, Nevada Activity Director: Elliot K. Fishman, MD, FACR Description The rapid evolution of multidetector CT (MDCT) has impacted all aspects of patient diagnosis from cardiac imaging to vascular imaging to hepatic imaging. The development of these new scanners requires a close look at all aspects of our CT programs ranging from our scan protocols, to contrast injection to the use of oral contrast. The new clinical applications require a better understanding of our scanners as the Òroom for errorÓ has decreased with scanners routinely acquiring datasets in under 10 seconds. New applications have evolved from coronary CTA to virtual colonoscopy to dual energy imaging, to name a few. Classic applications like imaging the liver, kidneys or pancreas have changed with the role of multiphase acquisition and post processing techniques becoming more critical. This has been both a time of change and a time of excitement. This meeting will provide the attendee with an improved understanding of the role of MDCT today and will help them improve their practice skills and knowledge base. Whether it is designing new scan protocols or learning new skill sets this meeting will be a catalyst for increasing your core competencies through a series of lectures and hands-on training over a four day period. The goal of the meeting is to improve your ability to do the best studies possible for optimal patient care in your own practice. We hope you can join us in this exciting meeting. Who Should Attend This activity is intended for radiologic technologists and radiologists. Objectives After attending this activity, the participant will demonstrate the ability to: • Describe the current state-of-the-art of CT scanning today and its impact in clinical practice • Define the role of post processing techniques like MPR and 3D in clinical practice • Discuss the issues of radiation dose in CT and how to minimize dose exposure for your patients • Identify the newest scan protocols including the optimal use of oral and IV contrast agents • Discuss the daily and long-term challenges in successfully running your CT program, especially from a radiologic technologistÕs perspective • Define the role of Cardiac CT in practice today including study technique and optimal study design • Apply your expertise in abdominal imaging including details of renal, liver, kidney and bowel imaging • Enhance your knowledge in thoracic imaging including pulmonary embolism studies and HRCT • Enhance your knowledge of the role of CT in neuroradiology applications • Enhance your knowledge of vascular imaging including the role of 3D imaging in these applications Credit This activity has been approved by AHRA, the approving RCEEM: The Association for Medical Imaging Management for a maximum of 19.5 Category A, ARRT continuing education credits. You must attend each session in its entirety to obtain credit. No partial session credit will be awarded.
