In UCSF Emergency and Trauma Imaging, speakers deliver case-based lectures that highlight imaging features across the major organ systems, as well as the latest imaging techniques increasingly used in the emergency/trauma setting: standard CT, MR, and US, along with dual energy CT, quantitative diffusion imaging, and combined MR/XR imaging for acute stroke care.
This continuing medical education course — a collaborative effort between UCSF Medical Center and Zuckerberg SF General Hospital and Trauma Center — is available online so you can earn CME credits whenever, wherever. It will help you to better:
- Implement the latest imaging protocols for rapid assessment of complex acute polytrauma patients
- Distinguish between common anatomic variants, injury mimics and common thoracic vascular emergencies
- Identify key imaging features of the most common emergent brain, spine, head & neck, and abdominopelvic pathologies
- Differentiate between emergent and non-emergent indications for interventional radiology
- Use search patterns to identify frequently missed musculoskeletal trauma findings
Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this CME activity, the participant will be able to:
- Implement the latest imaging protocols and state-of-the art techniques for rapid assessment of complex acute polytrauma patients
- Distinguish between common anatomic variants, injury mimics and common thoracic vascular emergencies including acute aortic injury and pulmonary embolism
- Recognize key imaging features and updated classification systems relevant to the most common emergent brain, spine and head & neck pathologies
- Differentiate between emergent and non-emergent indications for interventional radiology consultation, and understand the role of IR in diagnosis and treatment of common medical emergencies
- Identify the key imaging features of common abdominopelvic pathologies encountered in the emergency and trauma settings
- Utilize search patterns to identify frequently missed musculoskeletal trauma findings
Intended Audience
This course is intended for radiologists and all medical professionals who will benefit from a greater understanding of emergency and trauma imaging.
