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&#39;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 &amp; Strategies for Improvement

**Attenzione, gli orari riportati nel PROGRAMMA (icona calendario) si riferiscono al fuso orario locale dell’utente. Il fuso orario ufficiale del Congresso è Central European Time (CET).**

L'Istituto Nazionale di Oceanografia e Geofisica Sperimentale - OGS e il Dipartimento di Matematica e Geoscienze dell'Università di Trieste sono orgogliosi di ospitare il 90° Congresso della Società Geologica Italiana a Trieste dal 14 al 16 settembre 2021. La modalità del congresso è interamente online.

Con il motto "Geologia senza frontiere" questo evento mira a promuovere le Scienze della Terra come disciplina scientifica proiettata nel futuro, oltre i confini geografici, politici e disciplinari, per comprendere meglio l'interno del Pianeta Terra e la struttura del sottosuolo, difendere la società da pericolosi eventi geologici, comprendere meglio la variabilità climatica, pianificare l'utilizzo delle georisorse in modo etico e nel rispetto dell'ambiente.

The National Institute of Oceanography and Experimental Geophysics - OGS and the Department of Mathematics and Geosciences of the University of Trieste are proud to host the 90th Congress of the Italian Geological Society in Trieste on 14-16 September 2021.  The Congress will be held entirely online.

With the motto "Geology Without Borders" this event aims to promote Earth Sciences as a scientific discipline projected into the future, beyond geographical, political and disciplinary boundaries, to better understand the interior of Planet Earth and the structure of the subsurface, defend society from dangerous geological events, better understand climatic variability, plan the use of geo-resources in an ethical way and respecting the environment.

SGI 2021

Earth Sciences should be understood not only as necessary for a better understanding of the interior of the planet Earth, but also as a defense of society from dangerous geological events, for the understanding of climatic variations, for the planning and use of georesources in a ethical and respecting and protecting the environment.

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

webinar

In this Expert Forum Webcast, Applied Radiology will speak with Dr. Amit Gupta and Dr. Elias Kikano; both from University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center about their utilization of Spectral CT in clinical practice, how it has increased their diagnostic confidence and what, if any effect it has had on their clinical workflow. 

The Clinical & Economic Benefits of Spectral CT

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

In this Expert Forum Webcast, Michael V. Knopp, MD, PhD will provide an overview of current digital PET technologies and how leveraging these digital advances improves PET imaging using clinical cases. He will demonstrate how new concepts result in acceleration of acquisition time, dose reduction and dynamic imaging to help improve quality and the patient and staff experience. These new applications apply to the clinical practice for oncology, neurology and orthopedics / sports medicine.

Digital Technologies to Advance Clinical PET for Oncology and Beyond

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

Pitfalls and limitations of current practice will be reviewed, and a new prostate cancer diagnosis and management paradigm will be highlighted, focusing in particular on the importance of cooperation between the radiologist and urologist to provide the best patient care and management.  The webinar will also cover required capabilities on the MRI scanners, specific imaging sequences, CAD systems, contrast utilization, and the application of PI-Rads in clinical practice.

Current Practice and Advances of Multiparametric Prostate MRI with MRI/US Fusion Biopsy

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.

Prostate Cancer Imaging: Achieving Speed & Accuracy with MpMRI

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.
