This CME Activity as a practical, clinically focused review of diagnostic ultrasound featuring urgent scanning procedures and techniques. A mix of ob-gyn, abdominal, and vascular lectures provide a well-rounded review of clinical imaging techniques. Faculty share scanning tips, protocols, and pitfalls providing an overall balance to the activity.

This activity is designed to educate those who order, perform, and interpret clinical ultrasound studies. It should be particularly valuable for diagnostic imaging physicians, ob-gyn physicians, vascular surgeons, and referring physicians who utilize ultrasound to evaluate the clinical status of their patients.

Educational Symposia

Physicians: Educational Symposia is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education for physicians.

Educational Symposia designates this enduring material for a maximum of 10.0 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)^TM. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.

All activity participants are required to take a written or online test in order to be awarded credit. All course participants will also have the opportunity to critically evaluate the program as it relates to practice relevance and educational objectives.

AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)^TM for these programs may be claimed until July 14, 2022.
This CME activity was planned and produced by Educational Symposia, the leader in diagnostic imaging education since 1975.
This CME activity was planned and produced in accordance with the ACCME Essential Areas and Elements.

At the completion of this CME activity, subscribers should be able to:

• Describe the most common well-differentiated lipomatous tumors and the major diagnostic criteria for separating them from one another.
• Identify the most common morphologic patterns seen in soft tissue tumors.
• Apply the most useful immunohistochemical and molecular diagnostic techniques in the evaluation of soft tissue tumors.
• Discuss updates in the most recent WHO classification of renal tumors.
• Restate common and uncommon diagnostic pitfalls in bladder pathology.
• Explain how to reliably utilize both morphology and immunohistochemistry to differentiate germ cell tumors from mimics.
• Identify the histologic features of select cutaneous fibrohistiocytic tumors.
• Recognize cutaneous adnexal tumors that are associated with hereditary cancer predisposition syndromes.
• Describe the most useful ancillary diagnostic tests to aid in the diagnosis of challenging melanocytic lesions.
• Discuss current clinicopathologic diagnostic criteria for Barrett esophagus.

• Explain the most common forms of gastritis with emphasis on the autoimmune form.
• Restate the natural history and disease biology of ductal carcinoma in situ.
• Recognize cytomorphologic pitfalls encountered in interpreting cerebrospinal fluid.
• Describe mediastinal anatomy and cytology sampling techniques.
• Discuss the appropriate use of p16 immunohistochemistry and HPV RNA in situ hybridization.
• Explain the TCGA molecular classification system of endometrial carcinoma.
• Review the interpretative challenges that attend MMR immunohistochemistry and understand the clinical implications of loss in tumors of the gynecologic tract.
