COVID-19: Clinical Presentations and Spectrum of Imaging Findings Online Course
This course will provide a well-rounded overview of the origin, pathophysiology, and varied clinical presentations of COVID-19 infection. Through illustrative case examples, the spectrum of radiologic imaging findings affecting the lungs, heart, gastrointestinal systems, and central nervous system in adult patients and the manifestations of the recently reported Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C) will be highlighted. strong>
Target Audience:
The target audience for this activity is radiologists, radiologists in-training, primary health care providers, and critical care medicine attending and fellows with an interest in image findings of COVID-19 infection.
Goals and Objectives:
After completing the material in this activity, the learner should be able to:
- Discuss how SARS-CoV-2 first emerged and eventually resulted in the COVID-19 worldwide pandemic
- Describe the interaction between the COVID-19 spike glycoproteins and the ACE-2 receptors allowing its entry into the body resulting in multisystem organ infection
- Analyze typical and atypical chest radiographic and CT manifestations of COVID-19, how to generate a standardized chest X-ray and or CT report and the position of major radiology societies on the use of imaging in the COVID-19 pandemic
- Assess hysiologic benefits and diagnostic interpretive challenges associated with the use prone ventilation and radiographic imaging in COVID-19 patients with hypoxemic respiratory failure
- Assess pulmonary complications of COVID-19 including heightened risk of barotrauma, pulmonary thromboembolic disease and more long-term chronic pulmonary sequelae of the infection
- Assess the various myocardial imaging findings, presentations and complications associated with COVID-19 infection
- Assess the various abdominal imaging findings, presentations and complications associated with COVID-19 infection
- Assess various central neurologic complications of COVID-19 infection including encephalopathy, acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, thrombotic vascular events such as stroke; peripheral nervous systems manifestations such as dysgeusia, Guillain-Barre syndrome and post infection brain fog
- Describe what the radiologists needs to know about COVID-19 related Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MISC) and the International Expert Consensus Statement on Chest Imaging in Pediatric COVID-19
- Discuss the role Artificial Intelligence may play in the diagnosis, management and treatment of patients infected with COVID-19
