University of Washington Clinical Update (SA-CME)

Expert faculty reinforce your knowledge and enhance your ability to make quick, informed imaging decisions in this broad-ranging emergency radiology course.

Learn the Latest Methods and Techniques

UW Emergency Radiology Review provides extensive coverage of key topics in emergency radiology. Led by experts from the University of Washington School of Medicine, it focuses on epidemiology and mechanisms of trauma, clinicians’ expectations of imaging, and an integrated imaging approach to injuries of the head, neck, spine, torso, pelvis, and appendicular skeleton. This CME program will help you to:

• Promptly decide the appropriate imaging studies to perform in emergency situations
• Identify less common clinical conditions presenting in the emergency setting
• Revise imaging protocols to optimize diagnostic accuracy while minimizing radiation
• Correctly interpret emergency imaging studies and recognize when additional imaging is indicated

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:

• Rapidly determine the appropriate imaging studies to perform
• Identify less common clinical conditions that present in the emergency setting
• Update imaging protocols to optimize diagnostic accuracy while minimizing radiation
• Accurately interpret emergency imaging studies, and recognize when additional imaging is indicated

Intended Audience

This educational activity was designed for radiologists (residents, fellows and practicing radiologists) and imaging technologists. Other practitioners, such as physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and MDs working in emergency departments, may also find the imaging approach and interpretation to be useful.
