UCSF Radiology Annual Review: Comprehensive Imaging – 2025

Date: Monday, April 28, 2025 to Friday, May 2, 2025

• • Five full-day sessions Monday thru Friday (Pacific Time)
• • Covers all major subspecialties and imaging modalities
• • Includes didactic lectures, rapid-fire cases, and multiple-choice questions
• • Bonus lectures on essential physics, safety, and non-interpretive skills
• • Over 40 UCSF Radiology faculty from all subspecialties

OVERVIEW

• This course will review the fundamentals of the major organ systems and corresponding imaging modalities (CT/ MR/ US/ X-rays, mammography, nuclear medicine). The course will consist of case-based, in-depth sessions on diseases of the major organ systems; as well as shorter focused lectures on physics, rad safety, cardiac, nuclear medicine and interventional procedures that are relevant to the general radiologist and radiologist-in-training. The course will include a 90-minute session with multiple-choice questions on Non-Interpretive Skills relevant to radiology trainees. To facilitate learning, all lectures will include rapid-fire cases and/or multiplechoice questions (MCQ), as well as “MCQ Galore” sessions that emphasize basic radiology principles in a fast-paced, question format that will be of clinical value
• to the radiologist on-call and in-training

OBJECTIVES

• 1. Identify imaging fundamentals of each of the radiology sub-specialties (organ systems);
• 2. Prescribe the appropriate utilization of imaging modalities (CT, MR, US, PET, Mammography) for different medical conditions;
• 3. Implement the appropriate imaging protocols for routine clinical presentations;
• 4. Recognize indications and markers for interventional procedures, as well as assessment of outcomes;
• 5. Apply classifications of pathophysiological mechanisms underlying human disease to facilitate differential diagnosis;
• 6. Refine imaging criteria to optimize image quality/findings and improve diagnostic interpretation.

The UCSF Radiology Annual Review 2025 is designed for a broad range of medical professionals, including:

• Radiologists and Physicians (MD/DO)
• Radiologic Technologists
• Nurses
• Advanced Practice Professionals
• Radiologists in Training
