This CME activity is a comprehensive practical review of gastrointestinal imaging including CT, MRI, Ultrasound Nuclear Medicine and PET. Basic applications, advanced protocols, emerging imaging technologies, pearls and pitfalls to diagnosis are included.
Target Audience
The CME activity is primarily intended and designed to educate diagnostic imaging physicians who wish to gain knowledge into multimodality imaging of gastrointestinal diseases. It should also be useful for referring physicians who order these studies so that they might gain a greater appreciation of the strengths and limitations of the different imaging studies.
Educational Objectives
At the completion of this CME teaching activity, you should be able to:
- Recognize the imaging appearance of normal anatomy and common pathology of the gastrointestinal system.
- Differentiate benign and malignant nodules in the gastrointestinal system using imaging characteristics.
- Optimize imaging protocols to evaluate the gastrointestinal system.
