Thoracic Imaging: A Comprehensive Online CME Course

This online CME course provides a practical approach to imaging of the pulmonary, vascular, and cardiac systems, focusing on the diverse use of CT, PET, MRI, and radiography correlations. It’s designed as a comprehensive review for radiologists who interpret thoracic imaging studies.

Course Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, participants will be able to:

  • Interpret high-resolution CT scans of the lungs and provide focused differential diagnoses
  • Apply a practical approach to the imaging of lung infections
  • Identify typical manifestations of acute and chronic aortic diseases
  • Utilize cross-sectional imaging in the evaluation of pulmonary embolism
  • Differentiate benign vs. malignant lung nodules/masses on CT and PET
  • Implement the use of CT and PET in the evaluation and staging of lung cancer

Intended Audience

Radiologists, physician assistants, and nurses will benefit from this comprehensive review of thoracic imaging.
