Date: Monday, April 28, 2025 to Friday, May 2, 2025
Course Director: Soonmee Cha MD
Course Number: RAD25024
COURSE HIGHLIGHTS
- • 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
At the completion of this course, the attendee should be able to:
- 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
The course covers major subspecialties like GI, GU, Thoracic, Breast, Neuro, MSK, US/ObGyn, and Pediatrics, along with modalities such as CT, MR, and Ultrasound. It also includes essentials for Interventional Radiology, Nuclear Medicine, and Safety
