The Russell H. Morgan Department of Radiology and Radiological SciencePresentsEssentials in Multidetector CT and CTA  April 15 - 18, 2010Caesars PalaceLas Vegas, NevadaDescriptionThe rapid evolution of multidetector CT (MDCT) provides the radiologist with unprecedented capabilities to acquire high resolution CT datasets. The development of 64-slice MDCT scanners provide the capability for subsecond data acquisition of isotropic datasets. Many now are recognizing that these datasets represent far more than just a stack of images, but represent a volume of data that needs to be analyzed as a volume in what is commonly called volume visualization. Within this term lies a range of capabilities spanning the gamut from 3D imaging to CT angiography to virtual imaging.  Applications like CT angiography, virtual colonoscopy and 3D orthopedic imaging are becoming more mainstream and new applications like coronary CTA and runoff studies promise to be the next frontier in CT scanning. This course addresses the principles, exam techniques and clinical applications in 3D imaging and CT angiography, with a special focus on new applications like CTA and cardiac imaging. This is done through a series of lectures and panel discussions, as well as hands-on experience with a state-of-the-art real-time imaging workstation. There will be ample time for discussion, as well as for defining how to use these exciting technologies in your clinical practice.Who Should AttendThis activity is intended for radiologists, diagnostic radiologists and radiologic technologists.ObjectivesAfter attending this activity, the participant will demonstrate the ability to:- Define the basic principle of 3D imaging, including the various 	reconstruction techniques (VRT, MIP)- Practice how to optimally acquire data for MDCT and CT angiography- Describe the role of MDCT in cardiac imaging, including CT angiography of 	the coronary arteries- Describe the renal applications of MDCT and CT angiography- Define the role of CT in the evaluation and follow-up of the liver, 	pancreas and small bowel- Discuss the role of CT angiography and HRCT in thoracic disease- Define the role of virtual colonoscopy and how to do it- Define the role of CT in adrenal imagingAccreditation Statement The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education to provide continuing medical education for physicians.
