CT Colonography
Earn up to 21.5 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ and 13 SAM Credits
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 goal of this two-day course is to educate attendees in the technique, performance and interpretation of CTC through the supervised review of a minimum of 50 cases. The course will also provide a forum for discussing research initiatives, regulatory issues and the reimbursement environment.
Workstations: GE, Philips, Siemens, TeraRecon or Vital Images
Program and Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Recognize the techniques necessary to acquire diagnostic CTC images, including patient preparation, scanning parameters, and display/navigational methods
- Identify interpretation methods and recognize how to avoid pitfalls
- State current research initiatives, regulatory issues, and reimbursement environments
- Interpret and report CTC studies through supervised review of a minimum of 50 cases
What Your Colleagues Are Saying
– One of the best ACR visiting fellowships.
