UCSF Imaging: Core and Extremities

Overview

Radiology CME: Standard Protocols and More

Experienced and knowledgeable faculty discuss the fundamentals and pitfalls of state-of-the-art imaging in this online video CME program. UCSF Imaging: Core and Extremities delivers a practical review of routine GI, GU, and ObGyn presentations of the abdomen and pelvis, as well as the diagnosis of routine and incidental findings in the lungs and chest cavity.

Short, focused continuing medical education sessions cover diagnosis in imaging of the brain, spine, and major joints in the musculoskeletal system, standard protocols for each organ system, and appropriate imaging technique and use of CT, MR, and US.
