Abdominal Imaging Categorical Course
Dates: May 07-10, 2012. 
Abdominal Brochure
This course will present a comprehensive review of Abdominal Imaging. The course material includes neoplastic, infectious, and inflammatory diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, liver, pancreas, spleen, bile ducts, and gallbladder in addition to the adrenal glands, kidneys, bladder, retroperitoneum, and genital organs. The faculty includes nationally and internationally recognized speakers and emphasizes radiologic-pathologic correlation to enhance the participants understanding of the cause and multimodality imaging appearance of abdominal disease. An extensive syllabus will be provided including over 300 pages and 600 figures/illustrations. A systematic “pattern approach” to differential diagnosis will also be emphasized. Course fees
Course Objectives:
- Identify imaging characteristics of lesions involving the gastrointestinal and genitourinary systems that allow for narrowing of the differential diagnosis.
- Illustrate how the underlying pathology of the lesion contributes to its imaging characteristics.
The American College of Radiology is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education to provide continuing medical education for physicians.
The American College of Radiology designates this live activity for a maximum of 27 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Physicians should claim only credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.
Chest and Cardiovascular Radiology
Dates: This course will be offered again in January 2013.
The depiction of disease processes by current imaging has advanced extensively in recent years. This exquisite identification of various abnormalities by cross-sectional imaging, particularly CT and MR, further emphasizes the need to understand the pathologic basis of disease as we are now often illustrating this correlation directly.
The course is designed to illustrate basic concepts and radiologic-pathologic correlation in Chest Imaging in order to enhance practitioner knowledge and skills. Lack of understanding of the underlying pathology can lead to misinterpretation of radiologic images and the potential to overlook important complications such a neoplastic recurrence. Course fees
Course Objectives:
- Identify imaging characteristics of lesions involving the chest and cardiovascular system that allow for narrowing of the differential diagnosis.
- Illustrate how the underlying pathology of the lesion contributes to its imaging characteristics.
- Highlight those chest diseases in which radiologic imaging is key for accurate diagnosis.

Pediatric Radiology
Dates: October 8-10, 2012. Ped's Brochure
This course will present a comprehensive review of pediatric radiology. The course material includes congenital anomalies of the CV system, neck, chest, GI and GU systems, infectious diseases of the chest and GU tract, acquired gastrointestinal emergent conditions, and neoplasms of the liver, chest, kidneys, and adrenal glands, inflicted trauma, cystic renal diseases, pattern approach to neonatal lung disease, dose reduction, and neurosonography. The faculty includes nationally and internationally recognized speakers who will emphasize radiologic-pathologic correlation to enhance the participants understanding of pediatric radiology. Course fees
Course Objectives:
- Identify imaging characteristics of pediatric lesions that contribute to the refining and tailoring of the differential diagnosis to that particular lesion.
- Describe how the underlying pathology of lesions contributes to their imaging appearances.

The American College of Radiology (ACR) designates this live activity for a maximum of 17.25 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Physicians should claim only credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity
Women's Imaging and Breast Categorical Course
Dates: March: TBA March 2013
This course will present a comprehensive review of Women & rsquo;s Imaging, to include topics spanning conditions affecting the breast and pelvis. The faculty includes nationally and internationally recognized speakers who will emphasize radiologic-pathologic correlation to enhance the participants understanding of Women’s Imaging.
The course is designed to illustrate basic concepts and radiologic-pathologic correlation in Women’s imaging in order to enhance practitioner knowledge and skills. Lack of understanding of the underlying pathology can lead to misinterpretation of radiologic images and the potential to overlook important complications such as mass associated ovarian torsion. This course will serve to provide that education to residents as well as a refresher for practicing radiologists & nbsp. Course fees
Course Objectives:
- Identify imaging characteristics of lesions involving the breast, uterus, ovaries, fetal imaging, and pelvic floor that allow for narrowing of the differential diagnosis.
- Illustrate how the underlying pathology of the lesion contributes to its imaging characteristics.
The American College of Radiology is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education to provide continuing medical education for physicians.
The American College of Radiology designates this live activity for a maximum of 16.5 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Physicians should claim only credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.
Neuroradiology Categorical Course
Dates: September 24-27, 2012.
This course will present a comprehensive review of neuroradiology including spine, head and neck imaging. The faculty of nationally and internationally recognized speakers will emphasize radiologic-pathologic correlation to enhance participants' understanding of neuroradiology.
Course material includes congenital disease, trauma, stroke and vascular imaging; neoplasms of the brain; and neck, orbit and spine central nervous system (CNS) infections, with a systematic “pattern approach” to differential diagnosis. Course fees
Course Objectives:
- Identify imaging characteristics of lesions involving the brain, spine, head and neck that allow for narrowing of the differential diagnosis.
- Illustrate how the underlying pathology of the lesion contributes to its imaging characteristics

Musculoskeletal Categorical Course
Dates: August 13-17, 2012. MSK Categorical Brochure
The course material covers the vast majority of musculoskeletal diseases including trauma, neoplasm, infection, arthritis and internal derangement, metabolic, systemic and congenital abnormalities. The faculty includes nationally and internationally recognized speakers and emphasizes radiologic-pathologic correlation to enhance participants' understanding of the cause and multimodality imaging appearance of musculoskeletal disease. An extensive syllabus with more than 300 pages and 600 figures/illustrations will be provided. A systematic “pattern approach” to differential diagnosis will also be emphasized. Course fees
Course Objectives:
