Course Offerings
The ACR Education Center offers a myriad of courses to meet your training needs. Each course offers participants use of their own workstation selected from the vendor of their choice, a low ratio of participants to instructors, and access to nationally renowned faculty. Participants will also have the opportunity to experience the ACR Case Engine, the ACR’s proprietary learning methodology. Built on an unparallel repository of cases, the ACR Case Engine navigates learners through the curriculum of cases and provides instant feedback on each case completed. Choose your course from the list below.
Coronary CT Angiography
Advanced imaging tools for cardiac CT imaging are developing rapidly. This course is designed to enhance your clinical practice skills by providing intense training in interpreting coronary CTA examinations under the supervision of expert faculty. Participants use workstations with vendor software the same as in their own practice. Most cases include clinical scenarios as well as coronary catheter angiography correlation. The course also covers technical considerations for obtaining optimal examinations for interpretation, using scanner simulation technology.

CT Colonography
CT Colonography (CTC) is an evolving technique with considerable potential for widespread screening of colorectal cancer. Application of appropriate techniques and knowledge of correct interpretation skills are vital to successfully implementing this technique. The course’s goal is to educate attendees in the technique, performance, and interpretation of CTC through the supervised review of 50 sample cases. The course will also provide a forum for discussing research initiatives, regulatory issues, and the reimbursement environment.

ACR-Dartmouth PET/CT Course
This three-day preceptorship is designed to provide practicing radiologists and nuclear medicine physicians with an intensive, hands-on experience in reading PET-CT. The course is geared to physicians who have already completed some formal course work on PET and/or PET-CT but have only gained a limited experience reading scans in their daily clinical practice. The attendee will interpret in a frontline fashion over 150 PET-CT scans covering all clinical applications including those in oncology, neurology and cardiology. Through participation in multiple scan interpretation sessions, each concluding with a detailed review of the key findings, the attendee will develop a higher level of expertise and confidence in interpreting PET-CT.

Neuroradiology
This three-day General Neuroradiology Course, led by noted author David M. Yousem, includes the four domains of neuroradiology in brain, spine, head and neck and pediatric neuroimaging. The material will be nearly exclusively centered on CT and MR imaging with advanced application techniques. General disease categories of vascular, inflammatory, demyelinating, traumatic, degenerative, neoplastic, congenital, and metabolic diseases of the CNS and the head and neck in adults and children will be covered with case material. Four 30 minute lectures each day will introduce common themes for differential diagnoses and lay the groundwork for extensive time devoted to reviewing a library of cases ranging in difficulty and disease type. Attendees can personalize their course by selecting more cases from one subspecialty area than another to remedy perceived weaknesses.
