Course Description and objectives:
Course Description
The goal of this course is to familiarize radiologic technologists with small bowel diseases and the different imaging modalities available today to assist practitioners in the diagnosis and evaluation of such diseases. This course will begin by reviewing anatomy and physiology of the gastrointestinal tract. The remainder of the course will cover small bowel diseases, different diagnostic procedures that are available to aid in diagnosis, and will conclude with detailed information about CT enterography and MR enterography diagnostic procedures and the role those procedures play in diagnosing and evaluating patients with small bowel diseases.Learning Objectives
After reviewing the content, the participant should be able to:- DEFINE and IDENTIFY the anatomy of the gastrointestinal tract.
- DEFINE small bowel diseases and DISCUSS treatment options, prognosis, and diagnosis.
- DISCUSS small bowel diagnostic imaging options to include endoscopy, ileocolonoscopy, small bowel follow-through, computed tomography (CT) enterography, and magnetic resonance (MR) enterography.
- DISCUSS CT enterography and MR enterography procedures in detail, including the history of the modality, indications, protocols, and benefits versus risks.
