Covering topics such as lung cancer imaging and high-resolution CT, as well as emergency imaging of the chest—including trauma, pulmonary thromboembolism, and pulmonary infection—this Online Course also contains two modules dedicated to case reviews of CT and MR imaging of the cardiovascular system. Access to all cases is included, so you can follow along with the course presenters.

Learning Outcomes and Lectures

After completing this course, the learner should be able to:

– implement guidelines for the evaluation and management of pulmonary nodules

– list imaging manifestations of primary lung cancer and important aspects of imaging staging of primary lung cancer

– interpret lung screening exams based on Lung-RADS™ categories

– interpret HRCT studies and correctly diagnose and categorize cases of pulmonary fibrosis

– implement best practices in interpretation of CT pulmonary angiography

– integrate cardiovascular imaging into daily practice
