Artificial Intelligence and Epidural Fluid Collections

Course Overview

This 15-minute CME course presents data showing that epidural fluid collections are the most commonly missed pathology in emergency imaging as well as the most expensive from a medical malpractice perspective. The presentation includes twenty examples of epidural hemorrhage and abscess found by AI but missed by radiologists.

2. Understand the importance of missed epidural fluid collections from a clinical and medical malpractice perspective. 
3. Appreciate the typical imaging appearance of missed epidural fluid collections so as to recognize them in future studies.
