2020 Radiology After Five: How to Make Night and Weekend Call a Success! (CME VIDEOS)

This CME activity provides important and clinically advanced information for physicians and other medical personnel who provide or use radiology services in emergency and critical care units. State of the art imaging protocols, advanced techniques and diagnostic pitfalls are emphasized so that studies can be performed and interpreted in an optimal and time efficient manner. Faculty, share pearls and pitfalls of emergency room and critical care imaging while keeping patient welfare in mind. The need for careful and complete communication between the radiologist and the clinicians is emphasized along with modern compliance and reimbursement practices.

This course is primarily designed to educate radiologists, intensivists, trauma surgeons, and emergency medicine physicians. It should also be beneficial for those who order imaging studies and wish to better understand current applications of imaging methods and indications.
