Overview: Discover What Thoracic Imaging is all About
UCSF’s extremely thorough Thoracic Imaging offers you with the most applicable information regarding latest imaging methodologies as well as diagnostic techniques. It’s guided by Travis S. Henry, MD, and covers diverse topics such as pulmonary nodules, acute aortic syndromes, thoracic incidentalomas, lung cancer screening, imaging of bronchiectasis, mosaic attenuation, and more.
This is what the course will help you do:
- Interpretation of the lung’s high-resolution and detailed CT scans as well as provision of differential diagnoses that are focused
- Illustrating a practical approach toward lung infections imaging
- Recognizing acute and chronic aortic disease typical manifestations
- Defining the cross-sectional imaging role in the evaluating pulmonary embolism
- Differentiate benign lung nodules from malignant lung nodules or massed using CT and PET
- Utilizing CT and PET to evaluate and stage lung cancer
Expanding Your Skills
Accessible online, UCSF Thoracic Imaging offers up to 11.5 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits as well as accessible straight-forward, evidence-based material. You also get access to case study reviews to enable learners expand their knowledge as they incorporate the most recent guidelines into their daily practice.

Accreditation
The University of California, San Francisco School of Medicine (UCSF) is accredited by the ACCME (Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education) to provide physicians with lifelong medical education.
Designation
UCSF designates this long-lasting material for up to 11.5 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits. Physicians should only claim the credits based on how far they go in their activity participation.
Self-Assessment (SAM) credits: Questions, answers as well as references have been created to meet ABR (American Board of Radiology) standards directed at self-assessment modules. The SAM credits are subjected to be reviewed, changed, and finally approved by the ABR. The credits are required of radiologists who’re licensed in the U.S. The credits are reported independent of CME (category 1) Credits. The total credits include 9.25 in CT, 0.5 in MR, and 1.75 in PET/Nuc Med.
Series Release: 16th April 2019
Expiration Date: 15th April 2022 (Last date for credit registration)
The CME credit is obtainable after successfully completing an activity post-examination and evaluation. Registration includes a self-test multiple choice quiz that has 10, 15, or 20 test questions depending on the series length. Registration forms for CME Credit must be submitted before the expiration date of the series.
