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.

AMA Research Challenge 2024 

Join the AMA Research Challenge poster symposium and semifinals to explore top research posters and score posters in the semifinals (an AMA member exclusive opportunity).

webinar

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.

COVID-19: Abbreviated MRI Protocols May Provide Benefit

In this Expert Forum Webinar, Dr. Matilde Inglese, a board-certified and fellowship-trained neurologist at the University of Genoa, Italy will discuss the utilization of Diffusion Weighted (DWI) MRI in the diagnosis and management of Multiple Sclerosis (MS).  Supported by novel research, Dr. Inglese will review new applications and share the clinical advantages of using DWI with high field MRI through case examples from her research.

Diffusion Weighted MRI in Multiple Sclerosis: Clinical & Research Advances

In this Expert Forum Webinar, Sheila Bero of Siemens Healthineers will discuss the benefits of utilizing Compressed Sensing acceleration techniques in MRI.  These techniques include using both static and dynamic methods throughout the body with a focus on Compressed Sensing GRASP-VIBE imaging parameters and the impact on image quality, and workflow benefits from utilizing free-breathing liver dynamics will be presented.   Attendees will hear tips on how to achieve a balance between temporal resolution and imaging artifacts and will increase their understanding of GRASP–VIBE imaging techniques, parameters, and trade-offs.

Compressed Sensing | Address More Patient Populations in MRI

This Expert Forum Webinar will discuss workflow issues that have occurred due to COVID-19 and anticipated workflow as the pandemic diminishes. Topics to be discussed are the effects of the pandemic on practice volumes and finances and strategies for recovery, allocation of personnel including trainees during a time of social distancing and screening and triage of patients prior to diagnostic studies and procedures.  In the absence of an imminent vaccine, it is advisable to develop a plan for mitigation of a potential recurrent wave of COVID-19.

The Influence of COVID on the Radiology Workflow

In this Expert Forum Webinar, Dr. Robert Judd, Professor of Medicine at Duke University School of Medicine, will provide a brief review of the current literature on this topic, review Cardiac MRI imaging exams from post-COVID patients, and invite you to participate in a new multicenter initiative by the Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (SCMR) to track these post-COVID cardiac findings.

Cardiac MRI in an Era of COVID-19

In the fight to end breast cancer, the best defense is regular screening. To beat it, you must find it.  Find it early and your chances of winning are greater.  What’s needed is a mammography exam that goes wider and deeper in pursuit of the clinical data needed for a confident diagnosis. In this Expert Forum, Dr. Jennifer Doe will explore the value of wide-angle breast tomosynthesis and its effect on breast imaging.  Dr. Doe will offer a review of clinical cases using wide-angle technology.

The Impact of Wide-angle DBT in Mammography

Dr. Laurie Fajardo shares her experience with the set-up and use of digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) in clinical practice.  Participants will hear about system design, the impact on clinical performance, and how to best manage recall rates. In addition through carefully selected cases, Dr. Fajardo will share her approach to image interpretation and how one can manage DBT workflow effectively.

The Foundation of Integrating DBT Into Your Practice

With the advent of spectral CT, a plethora of reconstructions are now available for image analysis and use in daily practice.  Please join Dr. Nils Große Hokamp from University Hospital Cologne in this Expert Forum Webinar where he will share fundamental concepts of spectral CT and image reconstruction for oncologic imaging through a case-based presentation.
