Magnetic Resonance Imaging: National Symposium 2018

This CME series provides a practical teaching course for those who order, perform or interpret magnetic resonance imaging studies. The program is organized in such a way to allow subscribers to purchase all or a subsection of the program. Three focused segments provide a comprehensive yet practical review and update on the clinical applications of MRI. The series begins by focusing on the head and spine, moves into the musculoskeletal system and concludes with cardiovascular and body applications.

Educational Objectives

At the completion of this CME activity, subscribers should be able to:

• Apply state-of-the-art protocols to assess a hepatobiliary and gastrointestinal disorders.
• Discuss current and future directions of nuclear medicine studies.
• Describe the role of nuclear medicine when used to evaluate thyroid disorders.
• Explain the expanding role of nuclear medicine studies in the detection and management of pulmonary, bone and neurodegenerative disorders.
