Day 1

Overview of Skeletal Imaging: Pearls and Pitfalls

Upon completion of this session, using evidence based and clinical practice guidelines, including Salter-Harris fracture classifications, the participant should be able to: ^{EBM, GL, COMP}

1. Determine which imaging studies are indicated and which studies are not indicated in the setting of acute trauma.
2. Develop an approach to evaluating skeletal radiographs.
3. Detect radiographic findings in pediatric radiographs.

Ultrasound Basics

Upon completion of this session, the participant should be able to: ^{EBM, GL, COMP}

1. Discuss commonly used terms in ultrasound.
2. Determine in which clinical settings, based on the SRU Consensus Statement, ultrasound is the most appropriate study to order.
3. Recognize US findings for common diseases/diagnoses.

Stroke and Imaging

Upon completion of this session, based on the Guidelines from NINDS and Advanced Cardiac Life Support, the participant should be able to: ^{GL, COMP}

1. Appraise the different imaging modalities available in the assessment of stroke.
2. Evaluate the benefits and drawbacks of each imaging modality.
3. Determine the appropriate imaging study to order in various clinical scenarios.

Basic Chest X-Ray Interpretation

Upon completion of this session, the participant should be able to: ^COMP

1. Develop a systematic approach to interpreting a chest radiograph.
2. Assess a chest radiograph for technical factors that may hide or simulate disease.
3. Determine whether a chest radiograph demonstrates air space disease and localize it in
   the lung.

Contrast and Radiation Issues in Radiology: What a Clinician Should Know

Upon completion of this session, the participant should be able to: ^{EBM, GL, COMP}

1. Utilize evidence-based guidelines to appropriately order intravenous contrast for CT scans for patients with impaired renal function.
2. Apply evidence-based guidelines to decide whether it is safe to order intravenous contrast for MRI examinations.
3. Describe factors leading to increased radiation exposure to patients from medical
   imaging.
4. Select appropriate tests to order so as to minimize patient radiation dose without
   sacrificing diagnostic accuracy.
