UCSF Radiology Clinical Update

Overview

Enhance Interpretation Skills with Online CME

The UCSF Radiology Clinical Update is a diverse review of conventional and advanced imaging of the breast, chest, abdomen, neuro, and musculoskeletal systems.

Aimed at enhancing interpretation of imaging studies acquired in a wide range of common clinical scenarios, this continuing medical education course provides an update on a variety of established applications of CT, MR, US, and mammography, as well as emerging technologies, helping you to better:

• Form appropriate differential diagnosis based on multi-modality imaging of key organ systems
• Perceive and accurately interpret subtle and challenging mammographic signs of breast cancer
• Describe key findings of disease on MRI of the brain and spine
• Apply considerations in U/S, CT, and MRI of the female genitourinary tract
• And more…
