Led by University of Washington’s Jason Hartman, MD and Jihoon Lim, MD, expert faculty focus on the latest imaging methodologies and diagnostic techniques. This online radiology CME course offers comprehensive presentations and Q&A sessions covering the broad range of emergency imaging — from epidemiology and mechanisms of trauma, to an integrated approach to injuries of the head, neck, spine, torso, pelvis, and appendicular skeleton. It’s continuing medical education that will help improve overall patient care as you learn to:

• optimize imaging protocols
• incorporate standardized classification systems
• implement updated approaches to management
• make appropriate recommendations for incidental findings
• and more…

Target Audience

Radiologists (residents, fellows, and practicing radiologists) and imaging technologists. Other practitioners in emergency medicine may also find the imaging approach and interpretation useful — such as PAs, NPs, and MDs working in emergency departments.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, the participant will be able to:

• Determine appropriate imaging protocols
• Gain more familiarity with common and uncommon conditions encountered in emergency radiology
• Provide appropriate recommendations for incidental findings
