Course Outline and Objectives

This course will review the fundamentals of the major organ systems and corresponding imaging modalities. Emphasis will be placed on providing a step-by-step process for reaching a differential diagnosis. Lecture content will focus on comparative analysis and key factors that promote accurate diagnosis by the radiologist in clinical practice. Formal didactic lectures will be combined with unknown case sessions, in order to give the attendee a thorough review of radiology fundamentals and terminology, as well as exposure to a cross-section of topical and clinically relevant interesting cases. 

At the completion of this course, the attendee should be able to: 
1.  Identify imaging fundamentals of each of the radiology sub-specialties (organ systems);
2.  Prescribe the appropriate utilization of imaging modalities (CT, MR, US, Mammography);
3.  Implement the appropriate imaging protocols for routine clinical presentations;
4.  Recognize indications and markers for interventional procedures, as well as assessment of outcomes;
5.  Apply classifications of pathophysiological mechanisms underlying human disease to facilitate differential diagnosis;
6.  Refine imaging criteria to optimize image quality/findings and improve diagnostic interpretation.
