UCSF CME Radiation Safety in Computed Tomography Virtual Symposium 2023

Overview:

This course features well-known experts in CT radiation and interactive live sessions with radiology leaders, prominent medical physicists, and medical society leaders. Additionally, radiology vendors will present solutions for dose optimization and dose reduction.

The course will offer formal lectures, case discussions, case-based review sessions allowing for self-assessment for interaction with expert panelists, questions and answer sessions, and on-demand access to course recordings.

LIVE STREAM MEETING
This course will be offered as a virtual conference. Login instructions along with the digital syllabus will be shared with the attendees a week before the meeting. Included in your registration fee is access to the course recordings on demand after the conference and for 30 days after the course.
