Because primary care and acute care clinicians frequently order and review imaging studies before an official radiologist interpretation is available, this course focuses on providing practical, evidence-based approaches to medical imaging. The curriculum equips non-radiologist healthcare providers with the skills to select the most appropriate imaging studies (utilizing the American College of Radiology Appropriateness Criteria), minimize unnecessary radiation exposure, and accurately interpret basic findings across a wide range of clinical scenarios.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003eLearning Objectives\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003eUpon completion of this comprehensive 4-day educational activity, participants should be better able to:\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eSelect Appropriate Imaging:\u003c\/b\u003e Apply evidence-based guidelines and Appropriateness Criteria to order optimal imaging studies (X-ray, CT, MRI, Ultrasound) for various clinical presentations, avoiding unnecessary tests and minimizing patient radiation dose.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eInterpret Basic Radiographs:\u003c\/b\u003e Identify and interpret common abnormalities, fractures, and urgent findings on plain radiographs of the chest, abdomen, spine, and upper\/lower extremities.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eManage Incidental Findings:\u003c\/b\u003e Formulate appropriate follow-up strategies for incidental findings (incidentalomas) and specific lesions, such as pulmonary nodules or renal masses.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eNavigate Contrast \u0026amp;
