This course is designed to deliver a practical, yet clinically relevant review of CT imaging while emphasizing the latest technological advances. Tips, techniques, and expanded clinical applications will be highlighted throughout the program. Protocol optimization, oncological applications and lung cancer screen will be addressed. When appropriate, comparisons will be made with other modalities

Educational Objectives:
At the completion of this CME teaching activity, you should be able to:
- Discuss the role of CT and CTA in the evaluation of kidney and liver disease.
- Describe the expanding role of CT in the diagnosis of gastrointestinal pathology.
- Optimize pulmonary and cardiac scanning techniques and protocols.
- Differentiate suspicious from benign lung nodules.
