Cross-Sectional Renal Imaging-Techniques and DiagnosisCross-Sectional Renal Imaging-Techniques and Diagnosis
Renal abnormalities comprise one of the most common indications for cross-sectional imaging of the abdomen. Image acquisition and interpretation continue to evolve, and expertise in the latest imaging techniques and diagnostic criteria is essential to guide management of patients with renal abnormalities. This course provides comprehensive instruction on the appropriate indications and protocols for cross-sectional renal imaging and helps participants accurately diagnose the full spectrum of renal abnormalities in children and adults.
Target Audience:
This course is intended for radiologists at all training levels with an interest in imaging of kidneys.
Goals and Objectives:
After completing the material in this article, the learner should be able to:
