2023 MVMA Spring Seminar - Getting Through Your Day: Interpretation tips for Radiology of the Thorax and GI Tract

Explore the world of thoracic and gastrointestinal radiology in interactive sessions! Together we will navigate normal anatomy of the thorax and abdomen, recognize normal variants, and distinguish artifacts of technique from disease. We will try to make sense of the shadows in thoracic disease, highlighting some of the common disorders you encounter in your day-to-day practice.  We will complete our time together determining who needs to go to GI surgery and who might be able to go home with some medical therapy.

This program has submitted for 6.0 hours of continuing education credits in jurisdictions which recognize RACE approval.

Participate either in person at the MN Humanities Center in St. Paul or attend online.
