2024 Magnetic Resonance Imaging National Symposium

About This CME Teaching Activity
This CME teaching activity offers a practical teaching course for those who order, perform or interpret magnetic resonance imaging studies. Focused segments provide a comprehensive yet practical review and update on the clinical applications of MRI. Topics focus on neuroradiology, head & neck, spine, the musculoskeletal system, cardiovascular and body applications.

Target Audience
This CME activity is designed to educate diagnostic imaging physicians who supervise and interpret MRI/MRA studies. It should also be useful for referring physicians who order these studies so that they might gain a greater appreciation of the strengths and limitations of clinically relevant MRI exams.

Educational Objectives
At the completion of this CME teaching activity, you should be able to:
Discuss the expanding role of MR in medical imaging.
Implement state-of-the-art MR protocols.
Utilize MRI to evaluate neurological, musculoskeletal, body and cardiac pathology.
Optimize MR protocols and techniques.
