SRU Annual Meeting: Imaging at the Speed of Sound: Recent Innovations in Ultrasound – A CME Teaching Activity

About This CME Teaching Activity
This activity is structured to address a wide range of topics common to most Ultrasound practices. It focuses on advanced techniques and applications used in general, GI/GU, OB/GYN, Vascular and Interventional procedures. The faculty emphasize updates in image optimization, contrast-enhanced applications, thyroid assessment, GI/GU, OB/GYN, and interventional procedures while sharing tips on how to acquire the most accurate measurements and quality assurance data. Extensive case review sessions round out the program.

Target Audience
This CME activity is designed to educate radiologists, fellows, residents, and sonographers. It should also be of benefit to those physicians who order sonographic studies.

Educational Objectives
At the completion of this CME teaching activity, you should be able to:
Review sonographic findings that can be easily misinterpreted or measured inaccurately and provide strategies for improved patient care.
Discuss emergent sonographic findings of ultrasound abnormalities throughout the body.
Discuss the most effective uses of contrast-enhanced ultrasound in the performance of diagnostic and interventional procedures.
Recognize the various uses of ultrasound.
Enhance non-interpretive skills within your ultrasound practice and improve efficiency.
