Educational Objectives

After participating in this activity, participants should be able to:

• Highlight key differences in Photo-counting CT image acquisition and image reconstruction compared with conventional CT. To summarize early evidence for the clinical benefit of PCCT for high-spatial resolution diagnostic tasks in thoracic imaging, such as assessment of airway and parenchymal diseases. Describe the benefits of high-pitch and multienergy scanning, including the ability for radiation dose reduction, depending on the diagnostic task. Evaluate the applications of PCCT for thoracic imaging in children. Describe the limitations and trade-offs of PCCT. Provide an overview of the best ways to incorporate PCCT into clinical practice including prioritizing access to patients and diagnostic tasks most likely to benefit from PCCT technology
• Evaluate the MRI features of the most common chondral repair tissue techniques, including microfracture, autologous chondrocyte implantation, osteochondral allograft, and osteochondral autograft transfer. To recognize important complications after chondral repair surgery. To understand the features of the MOCART scoring system to assess the quality of chondral repair tissue.
• Describe the radiographic characteristics of ARIA that occur with anti-amyloid therapy in patients with Alzheimerʼs disease.
• Recognize the complexity of breast cancer screening and the need to optimize risk-based testing. To incorporate evidence-based best practices in providing supplemental breast cancer screening in light of the recent federal legislation. To describe the rationale and understand how to document method of detection (MOD) in breast cancer patients.
• Describe the imaging characteristics and differential diagnoses of common pancreatic cystic lesions, accounting for key demographic information. Evaluate cyst features associated with increased risk of malignancy based on current guidelines. Consider integrating abbreviated protocol into pancreatic cyst surveillance.

Target Audience

The program is designed for clinical radiologists in either general or specialized practice, and is appropriate for radiologists in training. Familiarity with the fundamentals of CT, MR, PET, and US technology and applications, as well as basic anatomy, is assumed.
