HRCT
1 - 3 August 2025
Course Overview
This three-day course is designed to provide practicing radiologists with the skills and understanding necessary to interpret high resolution CT of the chest in diffuse infiltrative lung diseases. Participants will receive lectures on specific aspects of HRCT interspersed with hands-on interpretation of related cases. Faculty provide direct supervision and assistance with hands-on interpretation.
The integration of clinical, radiologic, and pathologic information will also be discussed.
Program and Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this course, participants will be able to:
- State the clinical indications and optimal approach for high resolution imaging of the lung parenchyma
- Utilize approach to CT differential diagnosis based on pattern and distribution of abnormality
- Recognize clinical features of the common interstitial lung diseases
- Describe the importance and mechanism of multidisciplinary consultation in diagnosis of interstitial lung disease

Emergency Radiology
4 - 6 August 2025
Course Overview
Whether you're navigating the realm of emergency radiology interpretations for the first time, contemplating a career shift, or just seeking to refine your existing skills in emergency radiology readings, you're not alone. Emergency radiology is one of the top three specialties, witnessing a hiring surge in 2022, according to the 2021 ACR/RBMA Workforce survey. The dynamic nature of roles and responsibilities in this field underlines the importance of possessing a well-rounded repertoire of diagnostic skills.
This intensive three-day course will bolster your knowledge and acclimate you to the latest methodologies in emergency radiology. The course aims to instill the confidence needed to effectively interact with clinical teams and manage traumatic and non-traumatic ER presentations.
Using a practical approach with hands-on experience provided via the proprietary ACR Case Engine at a dedicated workstation, you’ll explore imaging interpretations for over 300 emergency scenarios, covering the most common conditions ranging from dissected aortas and multiple traumas to subdural hematomas and radial fractures. These case studies mirror real-life scenarios frequently present in the ER, enabling you to bridge theory with better practice.
Esteemed faculty will lead formal lectures on fundamental concepts, emphasizing key insights and potential challenges to help you navigate the complex landscape of emergency radiology. In addition, dedicated case interpretation sessions will provide an environment to refine your expertise and gain confidence in emergency imaging interpretation.
With a favorable faculty-to-learner ratio, our course promises a personalized learning experience,facilitating in-depth discussions with faculty and peers. You’ll be prepared for real-world scenarios in emergency radiology with insights that extend beyond textbooks.
Program and Learning Objectives
- Develop a systematic search pattern for evaluating MDCT examinations of the multiple-trauma patient
- Recognize common and significant injuries in trauma
- Familiarize with potential sources of missed diagnoses and interpretation pitfalls in MDCT of trauma
- Understand basic technical principles for proper acquisition of CT images in the emergency patient (trauma and non-trauma)
- Learn characteristic appearance of various causes of acute abdominal, chest and pelvic emergencies on plain radiography, CT and US
- Learn fundamental imaging aspects of non-traumatic neurological, and head and neck emergencies
- Review common and uncommon fractures of the upper extremities, lower extremities, and pelvis and spine, with emphasis on the “easily missed” fracture

MSK
8 - 10 August 2025
Course Overview
This three-day educational course is designed to provide the practicing radiologist an intensive hands-on experience in the technique and the interpretation of MR imaging of the knee, shoulder, ankle/ foot and hip. The course is focused toward the non-musculoskeletal-trained radiologist responsible for interpretation of these often complex examinations.
The attendee will have the opportunity to review and interpret over 100 musculoskeletal MR examinations under the supervision of expert faculty. Through participation in multiple scan interpretation sessions, including a detailed review of the key findings, each attendee will develop a higher level of expertise and confidence in evaluating MR of these various joints.
Program and Learning Objectives
- Identify the normal appearances of important anatomic structures on MR imaging of the knee, shoulder, ankle/foot and hip
- Identify abnormalities involving the menisci, cruciate ligaments, collateral ligaments, extensor mechanism and osteochondral structures on MR imaging of the knee
- Recognize important MR imaging features of rotator cuff tears, glenoid labral injuries and their clinical implications
- Detect common abnormalities of frequently injured tendons, ligaments and osteochondral structures on MR imaging of the ankle/foot
- Recognize important imaging features of avascular necrosis, labral tears, femoroacetabular impingement syndrome and traumatic injuries on MR of the hip
