This three-day course is designed to provide the practicing radiologist an intensive hands-on experience in imaging interpretation of traumatic and non-traumatic emergencies. Pertinent concepts of imaging technique will be reviewed and will motivate the case-based learning process.
Course Overview
Whether you're navigating the realm of emergency radiology interpretations for the first time, contemplating a career shift, or just seeking to refine your existing skills in emergency radiology readings, you're not alone. Emergency radiology is one of the top three specialties, witnessing a hiring surge in 2022, according to the 2021 ACR/RBMA Workforce survey. The dynamic nature of roles and responsibilities in this field underlines the importance of possessing a well-rounded repertoire of diagnostic skills.
This intensive three-day course will bolster your knowledge and acclimate you to the latest methodologies in emergency radiology. The course aims to instill the confidence needed to effectively interact with clinical teams and manage traumatic and non-traumatic ER presentations.
Using a practical approach with hands-on experience provided via the proprietary ACR® Case Engine at a dedicated workstation, you’ll explore imaging interpretations for over 300 emergency scenarios, covering the most common conditions ranging from dissected aortas and multiple traumas to subdural hematomas and radial fractures. These case studies mirror real-life scenarios frequently present in the ER, enabling you to bridge theory with better practice.
Esteemed faculty will lead formal lectures on fundamental concepts, emphasizing key insights and potential challenges to help you navigate the complex landscape of emergency radiology. In addition, dedicated case interpretation sessions will provide an environment to refine your expertise and gain confidence in emergency imaging interpretation.
With a favorable faculty-to-learner ratio, our course promises a personalized learning experience, facilitating in-depth discussions with faculty and peers. You’ll be prepared for real-world scenarios in emergency radiology with insights that extend beyond textbooks.
At the conclusion of this course, you will be able to:
- Develop a systematic search pattern for evaluating MDCT examinations of the multiple-trauma patient.
- Recognize common and significant injuries in trauma.
- Familiarize with potential sources of missed diagnoses and interpretation pitfalls in MDCT of trauma.
- Understand basic technical principles for proper acquisition of CT images in the emergency patient (trauma and non-trauma).
- Learn characteristic appearance of various causes of acute abdominal, chest and pelvic emergencies on plain radiography, CT and US.
- Learn fundamental imaging aspects of non-traumatic neurological, and head and neck emergencies.
- Review common and uncommon fractures of the upper extremities, lower extremities, and pelvis and spine, with emphasis on the “easily missed” fracture.
