Hands-on labs also included. The primary purpose of this course is to enable subspecialty interventional neuroradiologists, neurosurgeons, and neurologists to improve imaging interpretation of the brain, spine and vascular systems. This will be achieved by providing an updated review of evidence-based practice, with particular emphasis on neurovascular diseases, such as aneurysms, arteriovenous fistulas, arteriovenous malformations, acute ischemic stroke, and atherosclerosis; as well as novel and emerging technologies, such as physiologic imaging, advanced angiography, and state-of-the-art interventional devices. The tutorial is a method of transferring knowledge and may be used as a part of learning. More interactive and specific than a book or a lecture; a tutorial seeks to teach by example and supply the information to complete a certain task. Special emphasis will be placed on using case presentations to develop accurate differential diagnoses and suggest appropriate clinical management. There will also be a hands-on opportunity with current neurovascular devices and embolics on flow models. At the completion of this course, the attendee should be able to: 1. Improve interpretation of neurovascular imaging studies; 2. Recognize the indications for and limitations of CT, MRI and digital subtraction angiography for stroke and intracranial hemorrhage imaging, and treatment guidance; 3. Differentiate between the various common and rare forms of adult and pediatric neurovascular disease; 4. Appropriately select and implement the use of coils, stents, flow diverters, liquid embolics, sclerosants and/or particulate embolics in the management of complex neurovascular disease; 5. Recommend appropriate management of complex neurovascular disease, with particular reference to the roles of endovascular evaluation and therapy.   Visit the CME Course Webpage ›     Instructors: UCSF Faculty: Adib Abla, MD; Matthew Amans, MD; Daniel Cooke, MD; Christopher Dowd, MD; Van Halbach, MD; Steven Hetts, MD; Randall Higashida, MD; Michael Lawton, MD.     CME Credit: Physicians:  8.5 Hours Self Assessment Module (SAM):  Yes Specialty Audience: Radiology     RADLIST Course #16184 Map of UCSF China Basin Imaging Center, 185 Berry Street, Lobby 6, Third Floor, San Francisco, California (CA), United States     Show Nearby:  Make a selection ----- Restaurant Lodging Shopping Mall Spa Convenience Store Park Museum Airport ----- Amusement Park ATM Aquarium Art Gallery Bakery Bank Bar Bicycle Store Book Store Bus Station Campground Car Rental Car Repair Church Clothing Store Dentist Department Store Doctor Fire Station Food Takeout Gas Station Grocery Store Hair Care Hospital Laundry Liquor Store Movie Theater Parking Pet Store Pharmacy Police Post Office Shoe Store Subway Station Train Station Veterinary Care Zoo    Rank By:  Distance Prominence     Show More Results
