X-Ray Interpretation

 Primary care physicians often have the first opportunity to assess and diagnose patients. X-rays obtained in our office, clinic, hospital or emergency rooms are an invaluable tool in quickly establishing a diagnosis or making a better differential diagnosis. This eyes-on CME medical conference will improve the participant’s ability to read x-rays of the chest, extremities, neck, spine, abdomen, and sinuses. It will also give participants a better working knowledge of cross sectional anatomy and imaging, including a review of basic CT and MR studies that primary care physicians are likely to encounter. Basic radiologic science will be reviewed in addition to discussion of how to develop methodical approaches for reading images to lead to greater diagnostic accuracy and how to order the right advanced imaging tests for patients. This CME medical conference will give you greater ability, greater confidence and will make you a better physician by improving your practice through better use of diagnostic imaging.
