Incidental findings on CT and MR images can play an important role in patient care, yet they are often overlooked or misunderstood. For technologists, recognizing the significance of these findings and understanding how imaging techniques, protocols, and AI applications can help identify and optimize them is essential. This program will explore how technologists can contribute to improving image quality, supporting diagnostic accuracy, and enhancing communication within the healthcare team when incidental findings are present.
The content of this CE live webinar is intended for Technologists, Imaging Nurses, Administrators, Researchers, and other healthcare professionals.
After completing this activity, participants should be better able to:
- Understand the importance of incidental findings at CT and MR, both positive and negative aspects.
- Learn ways that we can take advantage of the additional information at CT and MR beyond the study indication.
- Understand how AI applications can further enhance our ability to opportunistically leverage incidental imaging findings.
This program has been approved for .5 hour of Category A CE credit as designated by the Society for MR Radiographers & Technologists (SMRT) RCEEM. Additionally, this activity may be available in multiple formats or from different sponsors. ARRT regulations state that an individual may not repeat an activity for credit if it was reported in the same or any subsequent biennium.
