Artificial Intelligence and Epidural Fluid Collections

0.25 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™

Cost: Free

Expires: 12/31/2026

Take the Course


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.

Learning Objectives


  1. Understand the frequency with which epidural fluid collections are missed on CT.
  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.

Endotracheal Intubation Pt. 2

0.25 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™

Cost: Free

Expires: 12/31/2026

Take the Course


Course Overview

Multiple paired case presentations of radiographs and companion CT scans demonstrating a number of complications associated with endotracheal intubation. Such complications are common in emergency medicine imaging and radiologists play a critical role in identifying them.

Learning Objectives


  1. Understand the importance of proper endotracheal tube placement and the measurements and anatomic standards applied in establishing it.
  2. List the important complications of endotracheal tube placement. 
  3. Appreciate the importance of underlying or associated diseases (i.e. ankylosing spondylitis) in developing complications of endotracheal intubation.

CTA Extremity Pt. 2

0.25 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™

Cost: Free

Expires: 12/31/2026

Take the Course


Course Overview

Case presentations of the most common injuries and pathologies affecting the extremity vasculature. These are challenging cases for our radiologists with serious consequences in the balance. Focus is on the breadth of injury/pathology but also on subtler imaging distinctions such as extravasation vs pseudoaneurysm.

Learning Objectives


  1. List the major injuries and pathologies affecting the extremity vasculature.
  2. Understand the subtle imaging differences between extravasation and pseudoaneurysm. 
  3. Appreciate the incidence of pathologies distal to a focal or regional vessel abnormality, such as dissection or emboization.

Thoracoabdominal Emergencies VI

0.25 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™

Cost: Free

Expires: 12/31/2025

Take the Course


Course Overview

15-minute radiology CME lecture uses annotated still images and edited, annotated cine files to demonstrate examples of different emergency presentations and pathologies. The cases are culled from an internal teaching file, our extensive quality assurance and medical malpractice databases, and from my own clinical experience. Each case is preceded by a factual graphic that depicts the gender and age demographics, incidence, risk factors, mortality, and CT sensitivity for each condition. This particular segment presents cases of cornual ectopic pregnancy, aortocaval aneurysm rupture, and meningococcal sepsis and includes discussions on the particular hemorrhagic complications of intramural pregnancy, the relatively low mortality of aortocaval aneurysm rupture, and the public health aspects of meningococcal case management.

Learning Objectives


  1. Identify common emergency presentations and their demographics, incidence, risk factors, mortality, and amenability to diagnosis by CT.
  2. Learn typical CT findings associated with emergency presentations. 
  3. Understand the role of CT in the emergency diagnosis and disposition of acutely ill patients.
