University of California San Francisco Clinical Update (SA-CME)

Enhance Interpetation Skills

• Apply the ACR recommendations for managing incidental CT-scan findings in the kidney, liver, adrenal gland and pancreas
• Identify indications for the use of different imaging modalities (CT/MRI/US) for various abdomino-pelvic organs and conditions
• Apply practical approaches to diagnosing both benign and malignant diseases of the abdomen and pelvis
• Anticipate potential pitfalls in abdominal-pelvic imaging and interpretation
