National Diagnostic Imaging Symposium 2019

The National Diagnostic Imaging Symposium is an annual conference that has built a solid reputation among radiologists for its practical yet forward-thinking curriculum, as well as the high caliber of its faculty. This conference is designed to improve the medical knowledge and skills of community radiologists who are called on to be well-versed in a variety of radiology sub-specialties and body systems. The course will focus on emerging medical techniques, information and technologies, current medicine, as well as review of best practices in the field of radiology. The program features simultaneous presentations covering several subspecialties providing up to 35 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)™, plus 28 Self-Assessment Modules (SAMs) that can be used toward ABR MOC Part 2 SA-CME requirements.

For breast imagers, this meeting offers an optional five-day dedicated breast imaging track that provides up to 37 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)™ in breast imaging. Specialized workshops in Advanced Breast Tomosynthesis, Automated Breast Ultrasound and Emerging Breast Imaging Technologies are available for no additional charge.
