From October 6-7th, 2007, at the Sheraton University City Hotel in Philadelphia, PA, SNM will hold a CT Case Review Workshop. This workshop will provide 16 hours of CT case review over 2 consecutive days for Nuclear Medicine physicians who are not certified in Radiology. Attendees will review and interpret 100 CT examinations under the supervision of a Radiologist. Studies will be evenly distributed among head and neck, thorax, abdomen, and pelvis.

Attendees will complete a form describing the major findings of each study, and answer a multiple-choice question regarding the interpretation. Attendees can apply this training to the 500 CT examinations recommended for credentialing in CT performed as part of PET-CT or SPECT-CT, as outlined in guidelines of the American College of Radiology, and SNM.

The workshop is for Nuclear Medicine physicians certified by the American Board of Nuclear Medicine, who wish to be certified in CT performed as part of PET-CT or SPECT-CT. Objectives are to review and describe normal cross sectional anatomy, identify common pathology in CT examinations of the neck, thorax, abdomen, and pelvis, and recognize important incidental findings in CT examinations of the neck, thorax, abdomen, and pelvis.
