Advances in Pediatric Neuroradiology

Society for Pediatric Radiology

This course will provide pediatric and general radiologists with an opportunity to do the following:

Summarize and provide an overview of the state-of the art neuroimaging modalities used in pediatric neuroradiology to evaluate pediatric Central Nervous System (CNS) disease
Select the appropriate modality or modalities in evaluating a suspected or diagnosed case of pediatric CNS disease
Evaluate neuroimaging of pediatric CNS disease as it relates to understanding normal brain development and maturation
Apply and describe Magnetic Resonance (MR) advanced imaging techniques optimized for children with neuroradiologic diseases to advance diagnosis and improve management

Description

A program comprised of highly pertinent topics for pediatric radiologists, general radiologists, adult neuroradiologists and pediatric neuroradiologists at both pediatric and adult facilities.

At the completion of this course, participants will be able to understand basic and advanced principles of CNS disease, and recognize and apply the techniques for advanced diagnosis and improved management.

Intended Audience

The activity was planned for pediatric radiologists, general radiologists, adult neuroradiologists and pediatric neuroradiologists at both pediatric and adult facilities.
