MR Contrast Agents: A Review of the Current Agents & Their Safety Profile

webinar

Join Dr. Jan Fritz, board-certified and fellowship-trained musculoskeletal radiologist at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine as he discusses new acceleration techniques in MSK MR Imaging.  He will dive deep into techniques, such as Compressed Sensing SPACE, Compressed Sensing SEMAC, CAIPIRINHA SPACE, Simultaneous Multi Slice and more.

Acceleration Techniques in MSK MRI: Improving Efficiency, Improving Patient Experience

IV contrast extravasation is a not uncommon complication in the performance IV contrast enhanced CT examinations.  In this accredited Expert Forum Webcast, we will review the different complications related to IV contrast administration.  This will be followed by analysis of different factors that contribute to IV contrast-extravasation and subsequent discussion of best practices that can reduce the incidence of IV contrast extravasation.  A novel method which reduced contrast extravasation by over 50% will also be presented.

Evidence-based Approach to Minimizing IV Contrast Extravasation

Multiparametric-magnetic resonance imaging (mp-MRI) has shown promising results in diagnosis, localization, risk stratification and staging of clinically significant prostate cancer. It has also opened opportunities for focal treatment of prostate cancer.  Through a modality and case study review, Dr. Harisinghani will provide a comprehensive discussion about the benefits of MpMRI for Prostate Cancer diagnosis and management.

In this Expert Forum Webinar, Rick Banner, RT (R), Senior Director of Marketing, Fujifilm Medical Systems U.S.A., Inc. will share insights into the design of advanced CT platforms that are addressing today’s clinical challenges while reducing the total cost of ownership.  These advanced features will be supported by Dr. Lawrence N. Tanenbaum’s personal experience on how these advanced features are making a clinical difference in the day-to-day operations in busy imaging departments

Advanced CT Technology | Improving Workflow and Cost of Ownership

Join us for an Expert Forum Webinar with Dr. Raman Danrad, who will share his experience utilizing Spectral CT and its clinical support tools designed to improve CADRADS scoring during reduced contrast dose, necessary rescue bolus, differentiation of thrombus/mass/flow artifacts, differentiation of calcium vs contrast, and lack of enhancement in the myocardium.

Spectral CT In Cardiac Imaging

African Americans comprise 13% of the US population, yet represent a disproportionate prevalence of cancer with the worst outcomes of all racial and ethnic groups for most cancers.  Lung cancer is the second most common cancer in the United States and African American males are approximately 15% more likely to develop lung cancer compared to Caucasian males, and have the highest lung cancer mortality of all racial and ethnic groups. In this Expert Forum Webinar, we'll hear from Dr. Shefali Gajjar, an Assistant Clinical Professor at Thomas Jefferson University, who recently co-authored a paper on this subject for Applied Radiation Oncology, and who will share her thoughts on this important topic and how we can begin to address this issue.`

Racial Disparities in Lung Cancer Prevalence in the US: Contributing Factors & Strategies for Improvement

In this Expert Forum, “AI in Radiology | Beyond Image Interpretation”, a panel of physicians who left their day-to-day clinical practices to focus on growing the role AI in Radiology, will share examples of real solutions which are available today; designed specifically to address Radiologists’ burnout We invite you to join us to learn more about decreasing the cognitive burden and enhancing the clinical workflow in Radiology, including automated scheduling and dictation solutions.

AI in Radiology | Beyond Image Interpretation

In this Expert Forum Webinar we'll hear from radiation oncologists at Columbia University School of Medicine who will review strategies for managing anxiety and minimizing sedation techniques in pediatric patients undergoing these types of treatments. 

Managing Anxiety & Minimizing Sedation in Pediatric Radiation Oncology

In this Expert Forum Webinar, Dr. Han W. Kim, Associate Professor of Medicine and Dr. Robert M. Judd, the Co-Director of Cardiac MRI from the Department of Medicine at Duke University Medical Center will share their clinical insight into the knowns and the unknowns as it relates to the use of Cardiac MRI to diagnose COVID-19 cardiovascular complications.
