Description
ARRS Critical Care and ICU Imaging 2024 This categorical course aims to provide a systematic overview of common acute and often life-threatening disease processes, entities, and imaging findings encountered in patients admitted to critical care units and the ICU. Experts will offer attendees a comprehensive approach to the diagnostic interpretation and recognition of acute imaging findings and diagnoses that impact the care and management of critically ill patients. The course will also focus on bedside imaging studies, such as point-of-care ultrasound and portable head CT, which are sometimes used to assist in the immediate management of patients.
