Multimodality Vascular Imaging: From Head to Toe 2020 (Videos)

Bringing together many of the foremost teachers in multiple disciplines, our Online Course will provide a holistic view of vascular imaging across subspecialty silos such as neuroradiology, cardiothoracic imaging, abdominal imaging, as well as pediatric and interventional radiology. Enhancing every radiologist’s ability to recognize vascular manifestations across various body territories, this course will offer insights to not only improve the diagnosis of these pervasive yet often subtle diseases, but also techniques for optimizing image quality to elevate practices.

Learning Objectives: After completing the material in this activity, the learner should be able to:

– Discuss the relative strengths of key imaging modalities (ultrasound, CT, MRI, angiography), and appropriately apply each in the diagnosis of vascular disease.
– Adapt the latest best practices to optimize the quality of vascular imaging for each modality in their own practices.
– Recognize manifestations of traumatic and nontraumatic vascular injury, atherosclerotic disease, chronic thromboembolism, mesenteric ischemia, vasculitis, and congenital vascular abnormalities.
– Apply vascular imaging for surgical and interventional planning, including TAVR, prostatic embolization, surgical free flaps, and aortic aneurysm.
– Describe the latest imaging innovations (including artificial intelligence, spectral CT, 4D flow, and contrast enhanced ultrasound), and utilize each to further improve diagnosis of vascular disease.
