World Class CME’s National Diagnostic Imaging Symposium^® is designed to meet the continuing medical education needs of radiologists — whether in general or specialized care — and radiology residents/fellows who wish to learn to use imaging in a clinical practice setting for screening, diagnosis and staging of injury and disease, including:

• Using CT and MRI to assess injury and disease in the extremities, spine, and cranium
• Applying ultrasound to musculoskeletal, gynecological, obstetrical, cardiovascular, and other organ systems
• Effectively using MDCT and MR imaging to evaluate the abdomen, liver, pancreas, spleen, and bowel
• Improving assessment of genitourinary malignancies, masses, and anomalies using MRI, CT, and US
• Correctly interpreting and staging CT findings in the context of a lung cancer-screening program
• And more...
