In this special webinar,  Dr. Kelly Reynolds, a disease transmission specialist, will share scientific and quantitative data about how infectious germs and viruses are transmitted in the workplace and at home.  Dr. Reynolds will provide essential tools and tips, designed specifically for healthcare professionals, of how to stay safe at work while focusing on best practices for infection control. Information shared in this webinar will empower participants to minimize potential health risks to their family members as one considers establishing standard safety practices at home to prevent the spread of coronavirus.

Tips for Protecting Your Family

### Welcome!

Science is about curiosity, blossoming of promising and novel ideas, getting inspired and connecting to other people. The NRS wants to provide and promote this for their members. Unfortunately, the NRS was not able to organize physical meetings in the past year due to the corona pandemic, while there was/is huge pressure on pulmonologists and scientists working in respiratory medicine. Therefore, we have set-up a new series of monthly online events: NRS Webinar, where you can acquire the latest updates within the lung field, and easily (re)connect with fellow members in our digital NRS cafe. 
During the NRS Webinar both a senior speaker and a junior speaker from different institutes will present their work at the online platform; sufficient time has been scheduled for discussions with the audience, via the chat or live. Every month a different theme is presented, and the program has been set up such that translational, clinical and more fundamental research is presented allowing for cross-fertilization of different research areas, various respiratory diseases and the latest technology applied.

For more in-depth discussions or small talk to catch up with researchers on the other side of the country, the NRS webinar is followed by networking time in the virtual NRS caffé. This is a virtual area in which you can join people sitting at a table in small groups and catch up on each other’s business, research activities, plans and challenging new hypotheses. 

If you somehow miss the webinar, fortunately you can see the presentations later at a convenient time, as most presentations will be recorded and are accessible via the NRS website in the members area and here on Underline NRS page under the microphone icon/past sessions.

Hope to see you there,

**Dr. Hermelijn Smits,**
President of the NRS

Netherlands Respiratory Society Webinar Series

Decontamination of imaging suites is a vital part of maintaining patient and staff safety. This webinar features Mr. John LaRochelle, a 30-year veteran of managing and implementing environmental infection prevention strategies in healthcare facilities around the world.  In addition, Dr. Riccardo Manfredi from the Department of Radiology at the Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli in Rome, Italy will provide the perspective of the radiologist and the decontamination practices put in place at his institution, which was one of the primary hospitals for COVID positive patients in Rome.

Decontamination Practices in Radiology

This presentation will provide an update of short- and long-term outcomes of the EP-Guided Noninvasive Cardiac Radioablation (ENCORE-VT) Phase I/II trial, as well as toxicities that have been encountered to date. Additionally there will be a special focus on the workflow for these cases, including patient identification, simulation, target localization, and treatment planning. We will also present future research directions for noninvasive cardiac radioablation.

Noninvasive Cardiac Radioablation: Past, Present, & Future Directions for the Treatment of Ventricular Tachycardia

Following the surge of the COVID-19 pandemic, as everyone begins to move back to the daily business of radiology, it is important to focus on rebuilding patient confidence as one considers how to schedule the elective procedures that were postponed or during this time.  This requires determined effort and time including; multiple levels of strategic planning, interdepartmental and facility communications, outbound marketing strategies, and the implementation of a complex plan with clearly defined end goals for success.  Safely caring for patients and staff, while managing the positive momentum of “ramping up” is the focus of this webinar.

Considerations for Re-opening Your Radiology Department

In this Expert Forum Webinar we'll be discussing the operational impact of upgrading to a 3T scanner in the MR suite.  We'll hear from two experienced administrators from RWJ Barnabas Health Ambulatory Care Center, who's multimodality advanced imaging facility is experiencing dramatic increases in both productivity and utilization, while impacting their bottomline.  We'll also hear how they are addressing the backlog of MR procedures as a result of the COVID pandemic.

Increasing MR Operational Efficiency with 3T

Spectral CT brings many advantages that are unavailable with conventional CT.  These advantages are always available, regardless of whether it is known if they are even needed before the examination is actually performed.  In this webinar, the benefits of spectral CT in improving patient care will be discussed from a diagnostic and workflow perspective, with a particular emphasis on economic benefits.

Improving Patient Care and Realizing Economic Benefits Using Spectral CT

In this educational program, Dr. Lawrence Tanenbaum and Dr. William Baughman provide a comprehensive review of what the COVID-19 virus is, how it’s transmitted, as well as, how it presents clinically on various imaging modalities.  Additionally, a review of “real-world” clinical findings of COVID positive patients, who present with additional symptoms that are manifested from coronavirus will be shared. Following the presentations, a moderated discussion will take place where questions from the audience will be addressed.

COVID-19 Facts, Findings, and Imaging Manifestations

A substantial proportion of patients with severe COVID-19 present with coagulation abnormalities which may lead to venous and arterial thromboembolic complications, which, if not properly prevented and/or timely detected can be associated with an increased risk of fatal outcome. This webinar is aimed at summarizing the characteristics of COVID-19 coagulation disorders, the laboratory and clinical findings in affected patients, and the role of the radiologist in the rapid recognition of pulmonary embolism which may properly direct patient management.

COVID-19: Imaging of Thromboembolic Complications

In this Expert Forum Webinar we'll discuss the added value Digital PET/CT is providing physicians at Saint Louis University.  Dr. Medhat Osman will cover the limitations of current PET technologies, the benefits of digital photon counting, and the impact digital technology is having on enhancing workflow and reducing radiation dose. Attendees will have a clearer understanding of the potential benefits dynamic PET imaging offers imaging professionals and their patients.

The Added Value of Digital PET/CT: The SLU Experience

This webinar will present a comprehensive review of image findings of varying clinical presentations relating to cardiovascular, abdominal, and neurological findings, resulting from COVID positive cases. Dr. Marco Francone, an Associate Professor of Radiology at Sapienza University of Rome will share his experience with imaging cardiac complications found in COVID-19 patients; while Dr. Jeffrey Hellinger, a Diagnostic Radiologist at Lenox Hill Radiology in New York City will review imaging of other complications seen with COVID-19 patients.

COVID-19: Multisystemic Nature & Variable Imaging Presentations

The challenge of managing COVID patients while addressing the surge of backlogged, elective procedures, is extremely important in-order-to address further delays in diagnosis, treatment, and care.  This webinar will examine the potential of abbreviated MR protocols as a means to manage an efficient workflow and exam scheduling that may be burdened by the need to decontaminate the MRI suite between patients.  An esteemed faculty will present, case-based examples of abbreviated body, breast, and neuro MRI protocols.
