About This Activity
This CME activity is a comprehensive practical review of gastrointestinal imaging including CT, MRI, Ultrasound Nuclear Medicine and PET. Basic applications, advanced protocols, emerging imaging technologies, pearls and pitfalls to diagnosis are included. In addition to imaging procedures a review of basic pathology of the gastrointestinal system provides a correlation to characteristics of disease and image findings.
Target Audience
The CME activity is primarily intended and designed to educate diagnostic imaging physicians who wish to gain knowledge into imaging correlation of gastrointestinal diseases. It should also be useful for referring physicians who order these studies so that they might gain a greater appreciation of the strengths and limitations of imaging studies.
