UCSF Emergency and Trauma Imaging

Overview

Convenient and Comprehensive Radiology CME

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
