The transcranial Doppler imaging examination is one of the least-used testing methods in ultrasound today and has yet to reach its full potential. This application of sonography is an accurate and efficient method to assist diagnosing patients with atherosclerotic disease as well as for monitoring patients for vasospasm after neurosurgery. As with learning any new technique, the first step is to begin to understand the transcranial vascular anatomy, normal physiology of intracranial blood flow, and how the body can provide numerous collateral pathways to recalculate blood where necessary. The circle of Willis is a naturally occurring collateral pathway and is the starting point in a transcranial Doppler imaging examination because the majority of the blood vessels examined are part of the circle of Willis. The circle of Willis also provides a pathway for the blood to move from the brain's posterior to anterior, or from the right to left hemispheres, if needed. This article will present the basic starting points to learn how to perform a transcranial Doppler imaging examination. IntroductionDoppler imaging is a common application of ultrasound imaging that is used on a regular basis to evaluate blood flow in almost all areas of the body including the transcranial vessels. Transcranial Doppler imaging was first performed in 1982 in order to evaluate vasospasm of the middle cerebral artery (MCA). It was initially performed free-hand and without the assistance of an image to document the location of the signals. The nonimaging method used a 2 MHz pulsed-wave Doppler transducer and fast Fourier transform spectral analysis. The depth of the vessel, its waveform morphology, flow direction, and velocities were used to differentiate one vessel from another. This technique has a long learning curve that depends on a tremendous amount of experience and knowledge of intracranial circulation. Systems that perform spectral Doppler imaging only are not as expensive as advanced imaging systems and allow for more ability to maneuver in small places such as an operating room or an intensive care unit. There have been significant advances in technology over the years, which allow for complex imaging systems to be smaller and more maneuverable. These advanced systems provide the compliment of the actual image of the circle of Willis as well as other intracranial landmarks that can assist the operator in correct vessel identification. The addition of the image to confirm the location of the spectral Doppler sample has shortened the examination learning curve making it far more popular than it has been in the past.1 The first section will present the transcranial vascular anatomy that is typically evaluated as part of the examination. It will also discuss the 4 major imaging windows (ie, transtemporal, transoccipital, transorbital, and submandibular windows) along with the examination protocol and image interpretation. Finally, this article will identify the major clinical applications for the transcranial Doppler examination. AnatomyThe vessels that are viewed in a transcranial Doppler imaging examination are the same vessels that form the circle of Willis. The Willis circle is an anastomotic ring of arteries found at the base of the skull. Its purpose is to provide a natural collateral pathway between the right and left hemispheres of the brain, or the anterior and posterior circulations in the presence of stenosis or occlusion. The vessels that comprise the circle of Willis include the MCAs, anterior cerebral arteries (ACAs), and posterior cerebral arteries (PCAs) as well as the anterior communication arteries (AcommAs) and posterior communicating arteries (PcommAs). The circle can be divided into 2 segments: the anterior circulation and the posterior circulation (Table 1).2 The anterior circulation provides the majority of blood flow to both hemispheres of the brain. The anatomy of the anterior circulation starts with the internal carotid arteries (ICAs) that travel superior, through the carotid canals, and into the brain; they terminate at the MCA and ACA. The right and left MCAs then travel laterally, and the right and left ACAs travel anteriorly. The terminal internal carotid artery (ICAt) also gives rise to the right and left ophthalmic arteries. The ACAs are connected via a short vessel the, AcommA. The posterior circulation supplies the majority of blood to the brain stem and begins with the bilateral vertebral arteries (VAs). It travels superior into the brain and then joins the basilar artery (BA). The BA then divides again into the right and left PCAs. The anterior and posterior circulation is connected by the right and left PcommAs.3 There are multiple other branches that arise from the VA and BA, however, only the vessels that are examined as part of a transcranial Doppler imaging examination are mentioned. The MCAs, ACAs, and PCAs can be further divided into the following segments: M1, M2, M3, A1, A2, P1, and P2. Essentially, the arteries are divided based on the branches that arise from them. For example, the A1 segment of the ACA is located proximal to the branch of the AcommA. Thus, the A2 segment is the section distal to the communicator. The same occurs with the PCA in that the P1 segment is proximal to the PcommA branch, and the P2 segment is distal to the branch. Anatomic variants are common, however, and it has been reported that only 20 percent of the population actually has a complete circle of Willis.4 Transtemporal WindowThere are 4 major imaging windows for a transcranial Doppler imaging examination; they include the transtemporal, transoccipital, transorbital, and submandibular windows. The transtemporal window is the most common window and shows the most anatomy. It is located through the thinnest part of the transtemporal bone which can be found just anterior to the superior portion of the ear. Thus, the sound beam travels into the brain from lateral to medial. The indicator notch on the transducer should be pointed anteriorly so that the orientation of the image appears as demonstrated in Figure 1. The B-mode landmarks include the petrous ridge (Figure 1, double arrows), sphenoid bone (Figure 1, arrow), and the cerebral peduncles (Figure 2).5 Anterior CirculationAs the sound beam travels into the skull from lateral to medial, the first visualized vessel should be the ipsilateral MCA. From this position, it only requires very slight angulations of the transducer to identify the ACA, PCA, PcommA, and ICAt. The approximate depth of this vessel is between 30 and 67 mm.5 The examination requires the Doppler map for both the color and spectral applications to be left in the standard format. This means that positive shifts flow will appear color-coded red and displayed above the baseline on the spectral analyzer. The negative shifts flow will be color-coded blue and displayed below the baseline on the spectral analyzer. Using this format, MCA should be flowing laterally toward the ear, which is also toward the transducer. This is demonstrated in Figure 3 where the vessel color-coded in red represents the MCA. The ipsilateral ACA can be identified at the approximate depths of 60 mm to 80 mm using the landmarks of the MCA and also the sphenoid bone.5 Once the ACA is visualized, it curves medial and anteriorly; therefore, the flow direction will be away from the transducer, or color-coded blue, as demonstrated in Figure 3.6 To perform the examination, the MCA should be interrogated with spectral Doppler by sweeping the sample volume throughout the length of the vessel. Initially, the sample volume can be increased to aid in searching for the initial signal; however, once found, the sample volume size should be decreased slightly to avoid interference from other vasculature. Three to 4 representative spectral Doppler recordings with measurements should be obtained starting at a shallow depth and working deeper. For example, signals could be obtained at 3.5 mm, 4.0 mm, 4.5 mm, and 5.0 mm. Widening the sample volume will help in the initial identification of the vessel. During a transcranial Doppler imaging examination, all spectral Doppler signals should be obtained with the cursor angle at 0°.7 The theory is that most vessels will be located between 0° and 30° compared to the spectral beam, and there is very little difference in velocity calculation using angles that are this acute. The amount of error in the calculation is within acceptable limits to leave the curser angle at 0°.8 Once the MCA evaluation is complete, the sample volume can be swept deeper in the bifurcation of the MCA and ACA and ultimately into the ACA itself. Many times, a signal is obtained right at the level of the bifurcation, which will show flow from both vessels. This is commonly referred to as a butterfly signal where the positive shifted flow is from the MCA, and the negative shifted flow is from the ACA (Figure 4). Placing the sample volume right at the MCA/ACA bifurcation helps provide confirmation of the correct location. Then the examination continues into the ACA, and again, the sample volume is swept throughout the course of the ACA. Two to 3 representative spectral Doppler recordings, with measurements, should be obtained.9 Finally, the last major vessel of the anterior circulation to examine through the transtemporal window should be the terminal portion of the ICA. It is located inferior to the level where the MCA and ACA are identified; therefore, the transducer is tilted inferiorly to locate the correct landmark. The landmark is the foramen lacerum, which is a triangular-shaped opening that the ICA passes through (Figure 4). The approximate depth where the ICAt can be identified is 55 mm to 67 mm, and the direction of flow can be either positive or negative.5 This is because the ICAt is tortuous, and the flow direction will depend on the patient's specific anatomic configuration. At least 1 representative spectral Doppler signal recording should be obtained with measurements in the ICAt. The AcommA is also part of the anterior circulation; however, it is not routinely visualized due to its small size.10 Posterior CirculationThe vessels seen through the transtemporal window from the posterior circulation include the PCAs and the PcommAs. The 2-dimensional (2D) landmarks that assist in PCA identification are the cerebral peduncles (Figure 2). The vessels arc around the peduncles and can be found at the approximate depths of 55 mm to 75 mm.11 The flow direction may be either a positive or negative shift and will depend on the exact location of the sample site. Spectral Doppler tracings should be obtained throughout the visualized segments of the PCA to look for any focal increases in velocity. The PcommA connects the ICAt to the PCA and may have flow in either a positive or a negative direction on Doppler. Nonvisualization of the PCA is common because it is a very short segment; however, it hypertrophies depending on the collateral need of the patient.12 Transoccipital WindowThis imaging window requires access to the back of the patient's neck. The patient can lie on their left side and tuck their chin to their chest or be seated in a chair with the chin tucked to the chest. The transducer is placed at the back of the head with the indicator light facing the patient's right side. This means that the anatomy to the left of the screen corresponds to the patient's right side, which is a standard presentation for imaging. The vessels to be identified include the intracranial segments of the bilateral VAs and the BA. The views are obtained through the foramen magnum (Latin for "great hole") and is a large opening in the occipital bone of the cranium.13 The vertebral vessels should appear at the approximate depths of 40 mm to 85 mm, and the BA should appear deeper than 80 mm using the landmark of the foramen magnum.14 Flow in the VA should be away from the transducer or a negative shift. If more shallow segments of the VAs are visualized (less than 40 mm), flow may appear as a positive shift due to vessel tortuosity. The landmark and goal to identify the BA correctly is to the confluence of the VAs. In the adult population, this normally occurs at depths greater than 80 mm.15 A color Doppler image of the bilateral VAs and spectral Doppler of the BA can be seen in Figure 5. Notice how the confluence of the VAs forms the shape of a "Y." As with all prior vessels, the sample volume for spectral Doppler should be swept throughout the length of both VAs and the BA. Two to 4 representative spectral Doppler recordings with measurements should be obtained in both VAs. Transorbital WindowThis imaging window demonstrates ophthalmic artery flow and flow in the ICA siphon. Access to these vessels is obtained through the optic canal, which is a round opening at the back of the orbit. This is the most uncomfortable part of the examination for the patient. The patient lies supine on the examination table, and a small amount of gel is placed on the eyelid. The transducer is gently placed on the eyelid with very light probe pressure. This window also requires an adjustment to the machine settings. The manufacturers should be contacted to determine if the correct mechanical index and power levels are at the correct settings. The literature recommends that the mechanical index be set at 0.28 mW/cm2 and the spatial peak temporal average be set at 17 mW/cm2.16 This is extremely important to ensure that there are no bioeffects to the eye during the examination, which can be accomplished using the "As Low As Reasonably Achievable" (ALARA) principle.17 The indicator light should be facing to the right of the patient to maintain standard imaging presentation on the screen. The orbit will appear as a large anechoic circle on the B-mode image. At 40 mm to 60 mm deep, the ophthalmic artery can be visualized with normal flow direction as a positive shift or towards the transducer.18 Constantly be aware of the sample volume depth, because the retinal artery is located at depths less than 40 mm. It is a smaller vessel compared to the ophthalmic artery; however, the flow direction will also be a positive shift. Also, keep in mind that the optic nerve is centered and immediately below the orbit. The retinal artery travels within the optic nerve; however, the ophthalmic artery is adjacent to it (Figure 6). The landmark for the ICA is the ophthalmic artery. This vessel is very tortuous and can be located at depths of 60 mm to 80 mm.19 Because of the tortuosity, flow may be either a positive shift or a negative shift and is dependent upon the patient's anatomic configuration. Again, the sample volume is swept through all visualized segments, and representative spectral Doppler recordings with measurements should be obtained. Figure 7 demonstrates color and spectral Doppler of the ICA siphon. Submandibular WindowThe submandibular window is obtained through the carotid canal. The patient should be supine with his or her chin slightly elevated and turned away from the side being examined. The ICA is identified in its retromandibular segment. The depth should be more than 35 mm, and the flow direction will be a negative shift. A representative spectral Doppler waveform with measurements is obtained as shown in Figure 8. TechniqueThere are correct scanning techniques for various applications of ultrasound during a transcranial Doppler imaging examination, which include the following: B-Mode: Transcranial Doppler imaging is performed with the image fairly dark. Although there are some b-mode landmarks, the goal is to obtain the spectral Doppler information rather than evaluate the parenchyma of an organ. This will also help enhance the acoustic interface between the bony structures that are used as landmarks, such as the sphenoid bone. As with most imaging examinations, be sure that the focal zone or zones are set at approximately the same level or just below the structure of interest. The frame rate should be maximized, and this can be done by making the 2D sector width fairly narrow. The smaller the sector window, the less scan lines per frame, and thus, a faster frame rate. The dynamic range setting should be fairly low which gives the image more contrast with less shades of gray. This will help enhance the interface between bony structures. Color Doppler: The color box, or region of interest, should be kept as narrow as possible to increase the frame rate. The same principle for the b-mode image exists ie, the less lines per frame, the higher the frame rate. The color map should be in the standard format of a positive shift color-coded in red and a negative shift color-coded in blue. This format is also known as BART ("Blue Away, Red Towards").20 Wall filter for the color Doppler application rarely changes; however, the filter should be set low to avoid slow flow echoes. Turn the color gain up higher than normal to initially search for the vessels. This will fill in the color box with a mosaic of colors. Then, slowly back off the gain by turning the color box down in small increments. This will ensure a gain of maximum color filling of the vessels as possible. Once the vessels are found, the gain can be decreased to the proper setting. The next 2 color tips are also lesser-used features that the manufacturers provide; however, they can be irreplaceable tools for difficult imaging situations. Increasing the color sensitivity or persistence improves the machine's ability to pick up slow or flow that's difficult to identify. By turning this feature up, differences that can be observed throughout the cardiac cycle and the rapid changes between systole and diastole may be masked. Color priority is a feature that tells the machine to put less emphasis on b-mode and more emphasis on color. By nature, color Doppler imaging overwrites the b-mode image, and this feature tells the machine to enhance it even more than normal. This will again increase the likelihood of finding the flow if it's there. Spectral Doppler: The initial search for signals should start by increasing the sample volume to 5 mm to 10 mm. This will boost the chance of landing in the small transcranial vessel. Be aware that doing so often results in obtaining signals from multiple vessels. Once the right vessel is found, narrow the sample volume back down to discriminate between vessels. As mentioned previously, the cursor angle should be kept at 0°. Do not invert the spectral analysis display so that positive shifts flow is presented above the baseline and the negative shifts flow is presented below. Flow direction for this examination is crucial and can be very confusing, so keeping the spectral display in its standard format is very important. The gain for control of any application is to amplify the signal. During a transcranial imaging examination, the gain can be increased more than normal, and then it can be slowly backed off until a clear envelope is visualized. 21 Adjusting the dynamic range of the spectral Doppler will also improve the clarity of the signal, which may mean that background echoes on the spectral Doppler tracing will be present. This can be a significant downfall when attempting to use an automatic tracing feature for measurements. In those cases, the signal can be manually traced. As with any spectral display, adjust the pulse repetition frequency, or scale, such that there is no aliasing demonstrated, and the output power will be maximized on the transcranial preset. When performing the transorbital component, the output power may need to be adjusted each time a new application is entered. The power will need to be decreased with the B-mode image. Once color is turned on, it should be checked again; when spectral Doppler is turned on, it should also be checked again. Power Doppler: Power Doppler is another tool that can be used to image difficult cases. It is very sensitive to flow, less dependent on angle, and free of aliasing. The spectral Doppler information can be obtained using power Doppler as the guide rather than color Doppler. Disadvantages include not being able to differentiate flow direction on some machines. The signal is free of aliasing, and it does not assist in the determination of the flow's speed and character. Again, that information can be better assessed with spectral Doppler, so it is not of critical importance.22 ProtocolAs indicated by the Intersocietal Commission for the Accreditation of Vascular Laboratories (ICAVL), first and foremost, a written protocol should be in place that defines the components, documentation, and number of samples that need to be recorded. It should also describe how the entire course of accessible portions of the anterior and posterior circulations is obtained. ICAVL defines that a complete examination include: spectral Doppler sampling of the intracranial ICAs, an A1 segment of the ACAs, M1 and proximal M2 segments of the MCAs, P1 or P2 segments of the PCA, the ophthalmic artery, the ICA siphon, the retromandibular ICA on the neck if indicated, the distal vertebral arteries, and the proximal and distal BA. If the examination does not include any of these vessels, or is only a unilateral examination, it would be considered a limited examination. Pathology should be documented by recording waveforms proximal to, within, and distal to the stenosis. The inability to visualize vessels must be documented, and velocity data needs to be recorded from communicating arteries if they can be identified. Additional written protocols must be in place and must define specific requirements for any other types of transcranial Doppler examinations performed in the laboratory. For example, if the department participates in the detection of emboli, CO2 reactivity and testing for shunts and vasospasm monitoring should all have individual protocols.23 InterpretationVessel IdentificationThe first step in interpretation is to correctly identify the vessels. This is based in part on what can be visualized on the B-mode and color Doppler image. It is important to be familiar with the appropriate sample volume depths for the specific vessel, the expected direction of blood flow relative to the transducer, the relationships of one Doppler signal to another, and the ability to trace the artery. The best example of this scenario is the ability to sweep the sample volume through the MCA, into the MCA/ACA bifurcation, and then into the ACA. The MCA should be a long segment of vessel between 30 mm and 55 mm deep, with flow toward the transducer. As the sample volume is swept from superficial to deep, the MCA is identified first, then the MCA/ACA bifurcation, which gives the butterfly signal. Even deeper is the ACA where the flow direction will change to a negative shift and should occur at depths greater than 65 mm.24 Waveform MorphologyEvaluating the overall waveform characteristics is also subjective in that each signal should demonstrate a low resistance and high diastolic flow pattern throughout the cardiac cycle. The quality of the waveform envelope will have a great effect on the accuracy of the examination. There are normal velocity ranges for these vessels in the adult population; however, it is important to realize that there will be differences depending on the age of the patient. A basic understanding of flow through a stenosis is necessary when performing any Doppler examination. As blood moves through a channel that is narrower than the original diameter of the vessel, it increases. If the diameter is more than 50% narrowed, it is considered a hemodynamically significant stenosis. This means that the velocity of the blood will flow increase approximately 2 fold throughout a hemodynamically significant stenosis. As the flow exits the stenosis, it becomes chaotic and turbulent. This is called poststenotic turbulence. There are 2 crucial elements to document the presence of a hemodynamically significant stenosis: an increased velocity at the site of the lesion and poststenotic turbulence. The expected amount of flow through each of these vessels is subtly different. The highest flow should be within the MCA. The flow in the ACA should be slightly less, and then the PCA, the basilar, and finally the VA, respectively; the flow in the VA should be the lowest. Additionally, side-to-side asymmetry and any significant differences between the hemispheres should be documented.25 MeasurementsEach spectral Doppler waveform for this examination should include a measurement of peak systole and end diastole. Beyond this, the mean peak velocity is also measured, which is a different measurement than the overall mean velocity. As a result, it is important to make sure that the correct measurement is selected. Mean peak velocities are calculated by tracing the envelope of the spectral waveform. The theory behind this is that the mean peak velocity will be less affected by other central cardiovascular factors. This can be performed by both auto and manual trace techniques. Figure 9 demonstrates typical measurements. Notice the differences between the mean velocity tracing and the time averaged velocity mean. The tracing that measures the envelope of the spectral waveform from this manufacturer is labeled "time-averaged mean velocity." Table 2 summarizes the normal mean velocities.4 CalculationsThere are several indices and ratios that can be calculated as part of a transcranial Doppler examination. The first index that is often calculated for a transcranial Doppler examination is described by Gosling et al for peripheral artery disease and is known as the pulsatility index (PI).26 The PI is calculated by subtracting the diastolic velocity from the systolic velocity, and then dividing it by the mean velocity. This is the most widely used index parameter; normal values range from 0.5 to 1.1. The goal is to measure resistance with each cardiac cycle. Relatively high pulsatility indices are found proximal to an obstruction demonstrating the downstream resistance to flow. A relatively low PI can be found distal to the obstruction representing the capillary bed vasodilatation. The resistive index is used to evaluate distal vascular resistance.27 The resistive index is calculated by subtracting the diastolic velocity from the systolic velocity and dividing the resulting number by the systolic velocity. The values for the index should also be higher proximal to a stenosis and lower distal to a stenosis. An MCA/ACA ratio can be calculated, and if it is above normal, it could indicate pathology such as hypoplasia, stenosis, collateralization, branch occlusion, or distribution infarction. An abnormal value for this ratio is greater than 1.2. An MCA/ICA ratio can also be calculated, which is also known as the cervical or Lindegaard ratio. The theory behind this ratio is that the MCA velocities change due to stenosis or volume flow. The ICA velocity used should be obtained from the submandibular window. This ratio has been shown to help improve the diagnosis of vasospasm. Normal values for the MCA/ICA ratio are 1.1 to 3.0 with a mean value of 1.8.Finally, a BA to extracranial VA ratio can be calculated to help determine BA vasospasm. This ratio provides the interpreter the ability to differentiate between basilar artery hyperemia and true vasospasm. Vasospasm is often a complication in patients following subarachnoid hemorrhage and subsequent aneurysm clipping. Values for the BA/VA ratio greater than 2.0 indicate BA vasospasm.28 Clinical ApplicationsThe most common indication for this examination is suspected intracranial stenosis, which is suspected in patients that have typical stroke-like symptoms or transient ischemic attacks. Another indication would be an inconclusive extracranial carotid examination. In most cases, the transcranial Doppler imaging examination is performed after a regular carotid examination. If the carotid examination shows extracranial stenosis or occlusion, more information may be needed about the intracranial vessels to determine the effect of the extracranial stenosis and the collateral pathways that may be in play. Another common application would be for diagnosing vasospasm. Vasospasm occurs when there is vasoconstriction of the intracranial vessels and is a complication after a subarachnoid hemorrhage. A subarachnoid hemorrhage could be the result of a ruptured intracranial aneurysm and, therefore has a high morbidity and mortality rate. These patients are treated with neurosurgery and are prone to vasospasm in the postoperative period. Transcranial Doppler imaging examinations are performed several times per week on the patient to monitor their velocities and determine the presence or absence of vasospasm. Treatment for these patients can be directly impacted by the velocity information provided from the examination including hydration, blood volume control, and blood pressure control to help fend off the vasospasm attacks, and ultimately, prevent a secondary stroke. The examination itself is usually limited because vasospasm is most likely going to occur in the MCAs, ACAs, and PCAs unless it is indicated elsewhere. The interpretation criteria are mainly based on the mean peak velocities as described earlier as well as the MCA/ICA ratio. The 4 major categories of vasospasm in adults are listed in Table 3.4 Vasospasm can also occur in the pediatric population particularly in patients who suffer from sickle cell anemia. The pediatric interpretation criteria are slightly different than the adult population. Sickle cell disease is an inherited blood disorder more common in people of African or Mediterranean decent. The red blood cells become "sickle," or crescent shaped, and are unable to normally pass through the microcirculation. The result of this is tissue ischemia or infarction resulting in a stroke. There is no cure for this disease. Another childhood disease that transcranial Doppler is used for is called Moyamoya disease. It is rare, except in Japan, and the etiology is unknown. It affects mostly children and young adults and the disease is more common in women than men. The term "moyamoya" is actually Japanese for "cloud of smoke," because this is how the circulation presents itself on imaging tests.29 There is stenosis/occlusion of the distal ICA/MCA and/or ACA, so the blood flows up the ICA, then the major pathways for blood disappear into a "cloud of smoke," which is the collateral network formed as a result of the stenosis/occlusions. Unfortunately, there is also no cure for this disease. The main focus for monitoring these patients is to determine the presence of vasospasm in the MCA and terminal ICA; as a result, the majority will be limited examinations rather than the full complete protocol described earlier. ConclusionsThe purpose of the article is to introduce the readers to an application of sonography that is not well known or understood. Transcranial Doppler imaging examinations are one of the least understood applications of sonography. There are few facilities that perform numerous transcranial Doppler imaging examinations, which makes this examination relatively uncommon and misunderstood. As with any new sonography examination, if it is broken down to the necessary individual components, it can be learned and mastered just as any other sonogram. Those crucial components begin with a thorough knowledge of the anatomy being examined. Once the anatomy is mastered, it needs to be understood, in addition to which imaging windows can demonstrate which component, since it is very unusual to be able to visualize the anatomy all from one window. Throughout this article, the normal transcranial vascular anatomy was presented and the 4 major transcranial Doppler imaging windows were described in detail. A broad knowledge of the foundation of sonography is necessary so that the equipment is optimized accordingly. This can make or break the operator's ability to find the anatomy or identify any pathology. An explanation of the correct equipment settings was discussed including, B-mode, color Doppler, spectral Doppler and power Doppler applications. It is very important to be able to think "outside the box" in terms of sonography and know where further investigation is needed next. The ability to do this begins with being able to interpret the information that is being gathered in real-time. The waveform morphology, flow direction, and depth of the vessels are all crucial elements in vessel identification for the free-hand transcranial Doppler examination. Although imaging provides an overall map, these elements are still of critical importance to help the operator determine which vessel is being insonated. Observation and demonstration of the techniques described is required to become competent in performing transcranial Doppler imaging examinations. References1. Daigle R.

All eRADIMAGING radiography courses satisfy California CE requirements by using ASRT number found on completion certificate. Effective July 1, 2016 California CEC requirements can be found at the following link: New California CE Requirements Yes. eRADIMAGING offers enough Digital Radiography CE Courses to satisfy the California Requirements, updated July 1, 2016. Yes. eRADIMAGING has published enough Fluoroscopy CE courses to satisfy the California Requirements, updated July 1, 2016. Fluoroscopy courses should be focused on fluoroscopy with discussion of safe methods for its use. Only these types of fluoroscopy courses can fulfill the Fluoroscopy CEC requirement. Yes. eRADIMAGING releases 5 new mammography and/or breast imaging courses per year, which are available for up to 6 years. In addition, our course library presently includes over 25 mammography and/or breast imaging courses from which to choose. Digital Radiography courses include Computed Radiography and Digital Radiography topics. Computed Tomography (CT) and fluoroscopy courses can also be used to fulfill the Digital Radiography requirement. For example, a Certified Radiologic Technologist with a fluoroscopy permit who earns 4 fluoroscopy safety CECs in 2 years has fulfilled both their fluoroscopy safety AND their digital radiography requirements. Alternately, a Certified Radiologic Technologist or Limited Permit X-ray Technician with digital authorization can use fluoroscopy or CT courses to fulfill their Digital Radiography requirements even if they do not perform CT or fluoroscopy in clinical practice. Yes. All of our courses are approved for Iowa and Illinois state credit using the ASRT number found on completion certificate. Yes. CE content has been approved by the ASRT and/or MDCB, which are two of the ARRT®'s RCEEM's. These organizations accredit content on behalf of the ARRT®. Therefore, any courses approved by the ASRT or MDCB are recognized and approved by the ARRT®. Click here for MDCB-approved courses. Yes. Our credits are ARRT® credits so they are acceptable for Limited RT's. Yes. RRA's can earn credits with eRADIMAGING's courses. RRAs are required to complete 50 CE credits within a biennium. A minimum of 25 of the 50 CE credits must be earned through activities designated as Category A or Category A+. Because all of our courses are ASRT approved for Category A credits, RRA's can participate in our courses. Specific RRA CE requirements can be found on page 5, section 18 of the ARRT® Continuing Education Requirements Document, available here: RRA CE Requirements. Yes. All of eRADIMAGING courses are eligible for international radiographer CPD requirements. Radiographers have the flexibility to choose CPD options that best suit their own needs, including CPD activities offered by overseas providers like eRADIMAGING. All RT's must earn 24 CE credits every two years. This two-year period is called a biennium. Your biennium is assigned by the ARRT®, and is linked to your birth month and the year of your initial ARRT® examination. Your biennium begins on the first day of your birth month and ends two years later on the last day of the month before your birth month. For example, if your birthday is July 15, your biennium begins on July 1 and ends two years later on June 30. RT's who have successfully completed their first ARRT certification exam begin the mandatory CE requirements on the first day of their next birth month after the exam. For example, a new technologist who is born in July passes her initial certification in May 2017. She begins her first CE biennium on July 1, 2018. She must report her CE activity in compliance with her ARRT® renewal two years later in 2020. To verify your biennium dates online, visit the ARRT® website at http://www.arrt.org and click on RT Directory. Since requirements vary for each state, it is best to check with your state to see if a CE activity would meet the requirements of a radiation protection activity. eRADIMAGING.com keeps a transcript of the CE activity you have completed with us. You can access and view your CE activity by logging into your account and clicking on "My Account", "Manage My Account", "View CE Activity." You can reference your online transcript when you report your CE activity. You can also access and print your certificates from this page. An RT registered with the ARRT® is required to report their CE every 2 years. No. Although eRADIMAGING tracks successful course completion, neither the ARRT® or the ASRT allows CE providers like eRADIMAGING to report to activity to them on your behalf. If you are a member of the ASRT, the ASRT will track and transfer credits to the ARRT® on your behalf during your reporting period. You are responsible for sending copies of your certificates to the ASRT so that they can track and report your activity. More information about the ASRT's track and transfer option is available at the ASRT website. The ARRT® requires that you report CE activity online. Go to www.arrt.org and log in to your account. "My Dashboard" will come up. You will be guided through the reporting process through a series of drop down menus. Using the information on your online transcript, you can either cut and paste the required information that is included on your online transcript or type in the required information. Once you’re finished, Submit your activity. No. eRADIMAGING automatically generates certificates when you pass a CE Test. Your certificates are always available to you, regardless of whether your account is "active". If someone requests proof of your CE activity, you can print your certificates. Go to My Account, Manage My Account, CE Activity. Your transcript will come up. You will see a printer icon corresponding with each completed course. Simply click on the printer icon to print the corresponding certificate. You don't need to send certificates unless you are asked to do so. Sometimes employers or the ARRT® ask for documentation of CE participation. Don't send copies of your certificates to the ARRT® unless they request them. For the ARRT® requirements for continuing education, go to the ARRT® website. Yes. Any courses that are approved by the ASRT for 1 credit or more are also accredited by the state of Florida. We report credits electronically twice per month on behalf of members living or practicing in the state of Florida. It may take the State of Florida several weeks to reflect reported credits in your account. If you are on a tight timeline for renewing your Florida State license, you may fax your certificates to the State of Florida at 850-921-6365. If you work in Florida but do not live there, please make sure to check the box "I work in Florida but do not live there" when you sign up so that we include your CE activity on in our bi-monthly reports. We have added a feature that will allow you to update all your certificate identifier number on your transcript and all of your certificates. Log into your account and click "View CE Activity." The form at the bottom of the page will ask for your identifier number. Enter the number and press submit. All of your certificates will be updated.

H3: 984.227.8560 H3: Newsletter Course DescriptionThe formation of kidney stones, known as nephrolithiasis, is a common, painful condition that often requires surgery in patients whose stones do not pass on their own. Urolithiasis occurs when these stones are located in, or migrate to, any part of the urinary tract, including the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra, which is also a common urological disease with an increasing prevalence. Prior to the introduction of extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) in 1980, the only treatment available for patients with stones that could not pass through the urinary tract was invasive surgery. Since then, ESWL has become a preferred tool in urologists' armamentarium for treating patients with proximal and midureteral stones. Compared with open and endoscopic procedures, ESWL is minimally invasive, requires less anesthesia, and yields equivalent stone-free rates in appropriately selected patients. Different stone sizes, composition, location, and various patient factors all contribute to determining if a patient is a candidate for ESWL. ESWL utilizes many preprocedural imaging modalities, including diagnostic sonography, digital radiography, CT, and fluoroscopy, for renal stone evaluation and localization, as well as for stone fragment monitoring, and assessing the effectiveness of ESWL. All aspects of patient evaluation before and after ESWL procedures, as well as performing EWSL itself, are important and detailed processes that radiologic technologists who care for and image patients with these conditions should be well versed in, all of which will be covered in this course.

H3: 984.227.8560 H3: Newsletter Course Description Breast cancer is the second-most common cause of cancer-related deaths in women and can sometimes be detected on self-examinations before any symptoms appear. Mammography continues to be the gold standard in breast cancer screening as it can visualize lesions that appear as macrocalcifications (with or without a mass) that are nonpalpable on self-examinations. Breast calcifications are a common finding on screening mammograms and can be an early sign of breast cancer. To determine if breast calcifications are benign or malignant, a precise, targeted biopsy of the tissue, guided by the Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS), may be performed to provide further critical diagnostic information. This histopathological analysis, combined with the mammographic images, can prevent patients from undergoing unnecessary procedures. This journal-article-based, continuing education course will review the decision-making process regarding biopsies after mammographic analysis using the BI-RADS system. Different breast biopsy procedures will be reviewed along with histopathological classifications, emphasizing the role of vacuum-assisted breast biopsy under stereotactic guidance. Ten complex cases, with images and histopathological analysis, will be presented and reviewed, which will highlight the critical diagnostic steps involved in clinical decision-making.

H3: 984.227.8560 H3: Newsletter Course DescriptionOsteoarthritis (OA) is a progressive musculoskeletal disease that affects over 240 million people worldwide with the hip and knee joints most often involved due to their weight-bearing roles. This disease is characterized by articular cartilage degeneration and bone remodeling which can lead to joint pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. Digital radiography (DR) is the primary imaging modality for patients with OA due to its accessibility, low cost, and ability to reveal key features such as joint space narrowing, subchondral sclerosis, and osteophyte formation. Digital radiography is also used to stage OA, monitor disease progression, and guide treatment planning. Radiologic technologists (RTs) play a central role in OA assessment by performing standard hip and knee imaging studies while accommodating a patient's OA-related pain and mobility challenges when needed. This course begins with an overview of hip and knee joint anatomy and the pathophysiology, epidemiology, and clinical presentation of OA. Learners will explore the strengths and limitations of DR, patient care strategies, recommended radiographic projections, and image evaluation criteria. This course concludes with a review of radiographic signs of OA, common grading systems, and DR's role in managing patients with OA. Upon completion of this course, RTs will be equipped with the knowledge and skills to safely and accurately produce high-quality hip and knee images for OA assessment.

The probability of developing breast cancer increases with age, and the most common risk factors associated with its development, age and gender, are not modifiable. Several well-established diagnostic tools are currently used to screen and image patients for breast cancer including physical breast examinations, mammograms, breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and sonography, however, mammography has been the gold standard for breast imaging for many years. Over time, adjunctive screening tools were developed and approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to assist with breast imaging and cancer detection, including breast infrared thermography and electrical impedance mammography (EIM). Despite being adjunctive modalities, their roles in assisting with screening and imaging patients in certain clinical situations or with specific health conditions are important ones, and it is equally important for radiologic technologists and mammographers to be knowledgeable about them both. This course will review breast anatomy, changes to the breast over time, and an overview of mammography equipment, components, terminology, and key concepts. Advantages of using adjunctive breast imaging tools for patients who need to avoid or limit their exposure to radiation will be discussed. A thorough discussion of EIM and breast infrared thermography is included, which will cover the description and technical function of both modalities, patient and scanning room preparation, patient positioning, image acquisition and review techniques, how to use both modalities along with mammography, their roles in assisting with screening and/or diagnosing patients with breast abnormalities or cancer, and the benefits and limitations of both modalities.

H3: 984.227.8560 H3: Newsletter Course DescriptionHistorically, digital radiographic images of the facial bones and related anatomical structures are performed when it is necessary for a clinician to view and assess these regions after a patient sustains trauma to the face or to examine a possible pathology. Prior to the advent of computed tomography (CT), routine facial bone digital radiography (DR) was the mainstay of most emergency department protocols until the early-to-mid-1980s. Today, it is still essential for radiologic technologists (RTs) to be able to perform various projections and views of this area in order to assist clinicians with diagnosis when the need arises. To that end, this course will discuss facial bone DR, patient injury and possibly pathologies, and provide a detailed review of the anatomical regions that make up the facial bones, specifically the nasal bones, mandible, orbits and zygomatic arches. Detailed information for patient, central ray, and image receptor angling and positioning will also be provided as well as the anatomy that's best depicted in each image/view, and image quality criteria the nasal bones, mandible, orbital bones, and zygomatic arches. Instructional videos will review the anatomical landmarks, body planes, and positioning lines, for proper positioning for this DR series. These videos will also include image reviews, analyzation, and correction strategies in order to obtain high-quality DR images of the Caldwell, Waters, and lateral DR views.

Editorial Note: Throughout this course, when referring to facial bone radiography (FBR) in concept and imaging techniques, it should be assumed that this also pertains to the mandible, nasal bones, orbits, and zygomatic arches. It should further be noted that it covers only topics of trauma of these regions and not pathology. References to conventional radiography pertains to digital radiography (DR) of the anatomical regions being imaged, which includes both direct digital radiography (DDR) and computed radiography (CR). Additionally, the term projection/view will be indicative of the radiographic positioning method or process used to obtain the final diagnostic image. * This sample course is for reference purposes only.

H3: 984.227.8560 H3: Newsletter Course DescriptionThis course provides an overview of effective communication techniques for imaging patients with neurodegenerative disorders, highlighting the importance of communication support, as well as the role of medical imaging in diagnosis and treatment. Imaging patients with neurodegenerative diseases can be challenging due to communication impairments, and when imaging departments address these challenges, it allows radiologic technologists (RTs) and other members of the patient's healthcare team to provide high-quality care to their patients. Neurodegenerative diseases gradually damage and destroy parts of the central nervous system, particularly the brain, and include conditions like dementia, demyelinating diseases, Parkinsonism-type diseases, motor neuron diseases, and prion diseases, all of which will be described in this course. Symptoms of these conditions and diseases vary widely among patients due to unique brain structures and differing causes, but the most common symptoms include confusion, memory loss, slow movements, muscle weakness, and behavioral changes, which will also be discussed in this course. Augmentative and alternative communication strategies that are designed to help facilitate communication between the patient, RTs, the patient's caregiver(s), and other healthcare providers and clinicians that are part of the patient's care team will also be detailed.

H3: 984.227.8560 H3: Newsletter Course DescriptionComputed tomography (CT) is an essential tool in modern healthcare, offering detailed high-resolution cross-sectional views of the body. Its widespread availability, speed, and expanding clinical applications have driven steady growth, with almost 93 million CT imaging studies performed annually in the United States, with usage increasing by about 10% per year. However, the growing reliance on CT has raised concerns about the potential risks of radiation exposure, particularly its association with cancer. Although CT scans account for 11% of all diagnostic imaging examinations, they deliver almost 70% of the total allowed radiation dose to patients. These concerns highlight the importance of balancing the diagnostic benefits of CT with potential long-term risks and minimizing radiation dose whenever possible. Radiologic technologists (RTs) play a central role in patient education and radiation protection. This course will review CT image production, the impact of radiation exposure on the body, key dose metrics, and practical strategies to optimize scanning protocols while minimizing radiation exposure. This course will also explore emerging technologies, including dose modulation techniques and postprocessing algorithms, designed to reduce radiation use while preserving image quality. Upon completion of the course, RTs will be equipped with the knowledge and skills to provide a safe environment for their patients while confidently acquiring high-quality diagnostic images.

H3: 984.227.8560 H3: Newsletter Course DescriptionSonography is a valuable diagnostic modality in breast imaging and is both complimentary and an adjunct to digital mammography, digital breast tomosynthesis, and breast magnetic resonance imaging. Sonography may also be used as an additional breast cancer detection modality in women with dense breasts and a negative mammogram. Currently, sonography is the primary imaging modality recommended for guiding breast biopsies and other interventional breast procedures due to its ability to monitor and assist with real-time needle-to-lesion processes. Overall, sonography has evolved from the early days of B-mode 2-dimensional grayscale images to pulsed duplex, color, power, and spectral Doppler imaging, harmonic and spatial compound imaging, and elastography. It has become an integral component in the effective evaluation of patients with suspicious lesions identified during screening mammograms. Recent developments in sonography imaging systems and transducer technology facilitate accurate differentiation between breast cysts and both benign and malignant solid masses. Proficiency in scanning techniques and instrumentation is crucial for ensuring optimal image quality and facilitating accurate diagnoses. Expertise in this field requires a comprehensive understanding of breast anatomy along with related lymphatic systems and their interactions, imaging techniques and protocols, and proper patient positioning. This course will provide a review state-of-the-art sonographic technology, including recent advances as well as information on whole-breast and targeted sonography relating to benign and malignant inflammatory breast diseases. It will also review breast, nipple, and lymph node anatomy, the American College of Radiology's Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) for breast density and abnormality reporting, and provide extensive examples of how many benign and malignant lesions appear on screen.

It is not solely a women's disease, however, as 1% of all breast cancers are diagnosed in men. While treatment regimens have improved greatly over the years, a successful treatment plan begins with an overall understanding of the disease including the histopathology and cancer types. Screening and early detection are the keys to overall treatment success. Understanding mammography, as well as other potential screening tools, are imperative to an overall understanding of the disease and how to treat patients diagnosed with it. Historically, an extremely aggressive and invasive surgical approach to treatment left many patients scarred both physically and psychologically. However, current treatments balance the patient's survival with their desire for quality-of-life. This course will review the anatomy of the breast, the most common types of breast cancer, their etiology, epidemiology, staging, and grading. A review of surgical, chemotherapeutic, and radiation therapy treatment regimens will also be reviewed.

Diagnostic X-rays are produced when highly energetic electrons interact with matter and convert their kinetic energy into electromagnetic radiation. To reach this stage of X-ray production, a diagnostic radiographic system (DRS) must have key operational internal and external components in place, each with a role to play in the final production of X-rays. In addition, many technical parameters of X-ray production equipment affect the magnitude and shape of the X-ray spectrum that's produced. X-ray quantity and shape are also affected by the atomic number of the anode material, tube potential, voltage waveform (generator type), and tube filtration (inherent and added).

Diagnostic radiography is one of the most often utilized imaging methods in medicine. Diagnostic X-rays are produced when highly energetic electrons interact with matter and convert their kinetic energy into electromagnetic radiation. To reach this stage of X-ray production, a diagnostic radiographic system (DRS) must have key operational internal and external components in place, each with a role to play in the final production of X-rays. In addition, many technical parameters of X-ray production equipment affect the magnitude and shape of the X-ray spectrum that's produced. X-ray quantity and shape are also affected by the atomic number of the anode material, tube potential, voltage waveform (generator type), and tube filtration (inherent and added).

An early diagnosis of breast cancer can lead to earlier treatment initiation and improved patient outcomes. There are many variables that can affect mammography imaging services, so the Mammography Quality Standards Act (MQSA) was established to ensure that patients receive the same high-quality mammographic care nationwide. The MQSA established accreditation and certification standards for mammography facilities, focusing on key areas such as personnel qualifications, equipment performance, examination reporting, and recordkeeping policies. To stay up-to-date with technological advancements and evolving best practices, the MQSA undergoes periodic updates. The most recent updates that went into effect in September 2024 introduced several key changes designed to improve patient care. Some of the most significant updates focus on enhancing communication between interpreting physicians, patients, and healthcare providers, being required to provide each patient with their imaging results, and providing a clear summary of patients' breast density classification. Facilities must be familiar with the latest MQSA amendments to maintain compliance and continue to deliver high-quality mammography services. This course provides a comprehensive review of MQSA regulations, including accreditation and annual inspection requirements. The amendments and updates are covered in detail, with practical strategies to help facilities seamlessly integrate these changes into their daily workflow.

H3: 984.227.8560 H3: Newsletter Course DescriptionThe technology used in intraoperative imaging for visualizing anatomy has evolved greatly over the past 3 decades, particularly in orthopedic surgery. Fluoroscopy is widely used to guide surgical procedures and interventional techniques as well as therapeutic procedures. Recently, surgical workflow using fluoroscopic analysis has become a new paradigm in developing novel interventional orthopedic solutions that, in the past, required more invasive open surgeries. To that end, mobile C-arm fluoroscopy is readily available, is low cost, quick, and easy-to-use and is an important tool in perioperative and intraoperative traumatic and pathologic orthopedic surgical procedures, including a patient's lower extremities. In order to most effectively perform fluoroscopic imaging procedures, it is vital that radiologic technologists (RTs) possess a thorough understanding of techniques that not only allow for sharper imaging, but also help reduce radiation exposure to themselves, other members of the healthcare team, and the patient. This course provides a comprehensive review of: the fundamentals of fluoroscopy; applications of fluoroscopy in orthopedics; a review of key anatomy of the lower extremities (ie, the hip, femur, knee, lower leg [tibia/fibula], ankle, foot, calcaneus, and toes); a review of fracture types, injuries, and conditions specific to the lower extremities; C-arm imaging techniques; patient positioning for specific fluoroscopic procedures and imaging; radiation safety, exposure minimizing techniques and protocols, and safety protocols in fluoroscopy; and understanding the potential hazards of radiation exposure.

H3: 984.227.8560 H3: Newsletter Course DescriptionMagnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is generally considered to be a safe imaging modality because it does not involve ionizing radiation. However, there are still significant safety risks associated with MRI scans. These risks include potential projectile events due to the strong static magnet as well as tissue heating and acoustic injury from the pulsed radiofrequency and gradient magnetic fields. To minimize these risks, it is important to implement strong safety protocols and provide appropriate education for patients and staff. A valuable resource for MRI safety is the American College of Radiology's (ACR's) Manual on MR Safety. The Manual was recently updated to cover timely topics such as ultra-low- and ultra-high-field systems, point-of-care and interoperative systems, remote scanning practices, and a revised limit for the MRI fringe field. The updated Manual also includes new guidance on improving MR policies and training materials. This course will review the latest updates to the ACR's Manual on MR Safety and provide a comprehensive overview of important safety topics highlighted in the guidelines. Specifically, key topics include MRI safety zones, proper labeling of devices, and the roles of MR personnel. It will also examine the safety risks of cryogen and the 3 electromagnetic fields used during MRI scanning. Patient safety considerations will be addressed, including screening methods, risk assessments of medical devices, and clear communication.

H3: 984.227.8560 H3: Newsletter Course DescriptionMammography is an X-ray imaging tool used to visualize the breast for early detection of breast cancer. Since 1898, the most common treatment option for patients diagnosed with breast cancer included invasive procedures, such as a radical mastectomy. However, mammography was able to not only visualize and assess breast tissue, but it also fulfilled the need for early cancer detection by utilizing developing imaging technology. Many healthcare professionals and scientists have contributed to the evolution of mammographic technology including the equipment designated for mammography, film and digital mammography, imaging receptors to decrease radiation dose, multiple techniques for better visualization, as well as promoting standard guidelines for screening requirements. Despite the benefits of this continually evolving technology, many women have limited access to or encounter barriers when trying to adhere to adequate screening recommendations according to guidelines and their own cancer risk. Such barriers include lack of insurance, limited access to screening facilities, lack of general education about mammograms, and communication and cultural barriers. This course will review the development and functionality of mammography, its role in breast cancer detection, the most common breast imaging studies including digital mammography, full-field digital mammography, digital breast tomosynthesis, and barriers to mammograms and breast screenings. It will outline how these techniques apply to underserved populations and ways to overcome these barriers to provide optimal patient care.

H3: 984.227.8560 H3: Newsletter Course DescriptionMusculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) affect the muscles, nerves, blood vessels, ligaments, and tendons and can include sprains, strains, and tears, back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, arthritis, and hernias. Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMSDs) occur as a result of workers lifting heavy items, bending, reaching, working in awkward body postures, and performing repetitive tasks. These actions are common among radiologic technologists (RTs), sonographers, and other medical imaging professionals; therefore, there is typically a high rate of occurrence of WRMSDs among these workers. The most common sites of WRMSDs for RTs are the lower back, shoulders, and neck; in sonographers, the wrist and hand are also commonly affected. To help prevent WRMSDs, it is important for workers and their employers to employ proper ergonomic principles to fit the job to the person and minimize the risk of these injuries. Ergonomics is the study of matching job requirements and environment to the worker to maximize efficiency, quality, and quantity of work while minimizing WRMSDs, fatigue, and overexertion. WRMSDs are one of the leading causes of lost workdays due to injury and illness. These can be costly for the employee and the employer; however, the cost is not just economical. WRMSDs can affect a person's quality of life and mental health as well. For medical imaging professionals, using proper body mechanics when lifting and positioning patients, taking breaks whenever possible, stretching, and exercising can help heal current WRMSDs and prevent future occurrences. This continuing education (CE) course will explain the science of ergonomics and its importance to RTs and medical imaging professionals, common injuries that RTs of many modalities sustain, and ways to prevent these injuries. The ways in which technological advances are impacting the way workers can prevent WRMSDs will also be examined.

H3: 984.227.8560 H3: Newsletter Course DescriptionObesity has become a growing epidemic in the United States, and patients who are considered to be obese have an increased amount of body fat and a higher-than-normal body mass index (BMI). A person with a higher BMI will be more susceptible to other comorbidities including breast cancer.  Women who are considered to be obese are at higher risk for developing breast cancer due to the increased adipose tissue on their bodies. Being at a higher risk for breast cancer makes radiological imaging services even more important for these women. Even though breast imaging and mammography are important for women who are obese, the process of obtaining diagnostic images with optimal image quality can be challenging. Patient and healthcare provider perspectives, patient health conditions, and diminished image quality all can be barriers to high-quality screening and diagnostic mammograms. As a result, it is important for mammographers to be well versed with obesity and breast cancer as health conditions, both basic and advanced concepts and techniques of breast imaging, patient positioning, and protocols, as well as strategies and guidance on how best to work with obese patients during mammography and breast imaging procedures.

Understanding the basics of MRI data acquisition, image processing, and secure image transfer provide a strong foundation for radiologic technologists (RTs) to produce accurate images for diagnosis. This course will begin with an overview of the 3 main imaging sequences including spin-echo, inversion recovery, and gradient-echo pulse sequences and the approaches to altering these sequences to produce the desired image weighting. The basic parameters and applications of advanced pulse sequences will be discussed, including echo-planar imaging, susceptibility-weighted imaging, diffusion-weighted imaging, perfusion, and spectroscopy. Blood flow dynamics and the parameters of the 3 main angiography methods, time-of-flight, phase contrast, and contrast-enhanced imaging, will be introduced. Various methods of raw data collection in k-space and mathematical transformation into the final image will be explored. Postprocessing methods of manipulating data to enhance the final images, including the maximum intensity projection, multiplanar reformation, subtraction, apparent diffusion coefficient maps, and cine methods will be covered. Finally, the essential aspects of picture archival communication systems (PACS)/medical image management and processing system (MIMPS), Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM), and image storage and retrieval will be detailed along with a discussion of data security and confidentiality.

H3: 984.227.8560 H3: Newsletter Course DescriptionRadiologic technologists (RTs) are instrumental in the diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up imaging of patients with various diseases and health conditions. These specially trained medical professionals provide high-quality patient care while operating advanced imaging equipment. However, in recent years, the number of job vacancies for RT positions has been steadily increasing while the demand for imaging continues to rise. The current job vacancy rate for radiographers in the United States is at an all-time high of 18%, reflecting similar trends in other countries. The global RT shortage will significantly impact patients who may experience longer wait times, delayed diagnoses, and the potential for a lower quality of care from overworked RTs. Addressing this issue is complex and will require coordinated efforts from educators, healthcare organizations, professional associations, and RTs to implement effective staffing and technological solutions. This Continuing Education (CE) course will review the landscape of the current RT shortage, including common contributing factors such as low student enrollment, high numbers of RTs leaving the field, and understaffing caused by RT burnout and attrition. The potential implications of the shortage regarding patient care will also be explored. This CE course will also cover potential solutions for addressing this shortage including recruitment and retention strategies, promoting a healthy work-life balance, and encouraging professional development opportunities. Finally, the use of emerging technologies like artificial intelligence and remote scanning to alleviate workloads will be discussed.

Fortunately, in recent years, screening modalities and treatment options have improved. It is necessary to understand the details of the disease, its natural history, and clinical presentation so that appropriate diagnostic tools and treatment regimens can be structured. Understanding the different modalities currently available is important to achieving optimal patient outcomes. Tissue-sparing surgery, chemotherapy combinations, targeted therapies, and immunotherapy are important tools to treat patients diagnosed with lung cancer. Currently, most lung cancer treatments include, standard radiation, chemotherapy, image-guided external-beam radiation therapy, brachytherapy, or proton therapy for the best chance of local control and long-term overall survival (OS). By understanding each screening and diagnostic modality as well as treatment options, the radiation therapy healthcare professional can assist the patient with treatment, improving OS. This CE course will review the anatomy of the lung, the most common types of lung cancer, their epidemiology, etiology, and clinical symptoms. Lung cancer screening protocols and techniques, as well as tumor staging, grading, and prevention strategies will be outlined.

H3: 984.227.8560 H3: Newsletter Course DescriptionTen million Americans have been diagnosed with osteoporosis and 53 million have low bone density, placing them at an increased risk for fragility fractures. As a result, 1 in 4 people will break a bone due to this disease, and the hospitalization burden of osteoporotic fractures is greater than that of heart attacks, stroke, and breast cancer. While effective treatments exist, osteoporosis remains undiagnosed in 80% of patients due to a lack of accurate screening. Bone density measurements via dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) have been accepted as the gold standard to identify patients at risk for osteoporosis and fragility fractures. As a result, DEXA scanners serve a single purpose and are not typically used proactively, leading millions of patients to remain undiagnosed with this silent disease. However, computed tomography (CT) offers the ability to perform bone density measurements opportunistically as part of a routine scan. CT can effectively separate trabecular bone from the cortical shell, allowing for excellent bone density measurements and a more complete use of the information obtained via CT. This course will review the characteristics of osteoporosis, indications for bone density measurement, and the different methods and modalities used to measure bone density, including sonography, DEXA, other variations of X-ray absorptiometry, and the nuances of measuring bone density with quantitative CT (QCT). Measuring bone density with DEXA versus QCT will be compared and contrasted and detailed information and study data will be provided for preparing patients for and performing bone density measurements with QCT.

H3: 984.227.8560 H3: Newsletter Course DescriptionChest radiography remains the foundation of cardiothoracic imaging despite the diagnostic superiority and increasing availability of cross-sectional imaging techniques. The main advantages of chest radiographs are the speed at which the images can be acquired and interpreted, the low cost, availability, and low radiation exposure compared to cross-sectional imaging modalities. It also gives healthcare providers a great deal of pertinent clinical information. Upright chest radiographs still play an important role as a fast tool to rule out various cardiothoracic and pulmonary radiologic findings or to monitor treatment response. However, digital radiography (DR) has largely replaced film-screen radiography, which has led to the development of advanced imaging techniques such as dual-energy subtraction, digital tomosynthesis computer-aided detection (CAD), and dynamic imaging. Clinical practice guidelines and best practices have been developed for radiologic technologists (RTs) to ensure that optimal image quality is attained using the minimum appropriate radiation dose. These guidelines make practical and specific recommendations for many aspects of DR, including image acquisition, the use of radiation dose indicators, image processing and display, as well as data sharing, transmission, and storage. It is important that RTs work closely with radiologists, medical physicists, and other healthcare professionals to ensure the accuracy and safety of DR systems and their patients. This continuing education (CE) course provides a review of conventional analog chest radiography in addition to focusing on current types of chest DR techniques, including computed radiography, indirect flat panel detectors, direct flat-panel detectors, and lesser utilized slot-scanning charge-coupled device technology. Included in this course are proper patient and equipment positioning techniques for stationary and mobile chest radiography, normal anatomy, and common pathologic findings.

H3: 984.227.8560 H3: Newsletter Course DescriptionWhen someone dies, whether from natural causes, a disaster, or as a victim of a crime, an examination of the circumstances of their death can be imperative. Traditionally, an autopsy is performed by a pathologist to determine the cause of death, collect evidence, and identify the victim from dental records or medical devices when necessary. However, there are some limitations to traditional autopsy as well as situations where it's not a viable option. This is where forensic radiology can be very beneficial to pathologists and law enforcement officials. Utilizing postmortem imaging (PMI), especially postmortem computed tomography (PMCT) and postmortem magnetic resonance imaging (PMMR) before, during, or after a traditional autopsy, can help identify diseases, injuries, and foreign bodies that may be missed by traditional autopsy alone. PMCT and PMMR can assist with 3-dimensional (3D) injury and incident reconstructions, which can be stored as raw, electronic data, that can be easily accessed for long periods of time, allowing for collaboration with other medical and legal professionals. Postmortem imaging has also become a routine part of forensic anthropology that assists with examining human remains and the creation of 3D models to aid in investigations and teaching. This continuing education (CE) course will discuss the basic concepts of forensic pathology and forensic radiology, identify the roles of PMCT and PMMR in forensic investigations, compare the use of PMCT and PMMR with traditional autopsy, and analyze the usefulness of PMCT and PMMR in forensic investigations. There is also a brief discussion of how imaging can be used in forensic anthropology, including the incorporation of artificial intelligence, safety measures that must be taken, and data considerations for the images obtained with PMI.

This is where forensic radiology can be very beneficial to pathologists and law enforcement officials. Utilizing postmortem imaging (PMI), especially postmortem computed tomography (PMCT) and postmortem magnetic resonance imaging (PMMR) before, during, or after a traditional autopsy, can help identify diseases, injuries, and foreign bodies that may be missed by traditional autopsy alone. PMCT and PMMR can assist with 3-dimensional (3D) injury and incident reconstructions, which can be stored as raw, electronic data, that can be easily accessed for long periods of time, allowing for collaboration with other medical and legal professionals. Postmortem imaging has also become a routine part of forensic anthropology that assists with examining human remains and the creation of 3D models to aid in investigations and teaching. This continuing education (CE) course will discuss the basic concepts of forensic pathology and forensic radiology, identify the roles of PMCT and PMMR in forensic investigations, compare the use of PMCT and PMMR with traditional autopsy, and analyze the usefulness of PMCT and PMMR in forensic investigations. There is also a brief discussion of how imaging can be used in forensic anthropology, including the incorporation of artificial intelligence, safety measures that must be taken, and data considerations for the images obtained with PMI. * This sample course is for reference purposes only.

H3: 984.227.8560 H3: Newsletter Course DescriptionThyroid nodules (TNs) are common in the general patient population and in clinical primary care settings and are considered to be one of the most common endocrine system abnormalities. TNs are discrete lesions that can be radiologically and pathologically differentiated from normal thyroid parenchyma. Distinguishing a benign from a malignant nodule can be challenging, and professional guidelines have assisted with standardizing their evaluation, management, and follow-up procedures. Thyroid ultrasound (TUS) is easily accessible, noninvasive, and cost-effective, and is a key imaging study for diagnosing and managing patients with TNs. TUS can also assess the patient for malignancy risk, ultimately determining if a nodule requires biopsy. Adjunct TUS techniques such as color Doppler, 3-dimensional (3D) sonography, elastography, and contrast enhancement may also assist with a patient's workup. Nuclear medicine and imaging can also play a part in managing patients with TNs, specifically with radioactive iodine uptake/thyroid uptake and thyroid scintigraphy, both of which allow more detailed evaluation. This course will review the anatomy of the thyroid, outline risk factors for developing thyroid cancer, as well as the types and stages of thyroid cancer. Sonographic imaging techniques used in managing patients with TNs will be described, including 3D sonography, color Doppler, elastography, and contrast-enhanced sonography as well as circumstances that would warrant TN biopsy. Fine-needle aspiration biopsy equipment, patient management, and procedures will be reviewed. Finally, a discussion of the basic concepts of nuclear imaging and techniques commonly used in thyroid imaging, including scintigraphy, radioactive iodine uptake procedures, radiotracers, radiotracer administration and dosing, and uptake calculations will also be detailed. Pictorial examples of TNs in various stages, in all discussed modalities, are included.

H3: 984.227.8560 H3: Newsletter Course DescriptionDigital radiography (DR) is the first imaging study performed on patients experiencing shoulder pain or trauma. Radiologic technologists (RTs) produce DR images of the shoulder using various positioning techniques to accurately represent the anatomy and pathology, and in doing so, RTs must consider multiple factors that can affect the quality of the image. Image quality is optimized by choosing appropriate techniques and parameters, using accessory equipment like antiscatter grids, and understanding the inherent limitations of the X-ray tube and detector. High-quality images display shoulder anatomy with high spatial resolution, appropriate contrast, and minimal noise. This course aims to enhance RTs' skills in shoulder image acquisition and evaluation. It will review shoulder girdle anatomy, including its palpable landmarks for patient positioning and common shoulder pathologies. Routine and specialized shoulder projections will be covered along with a discussion of the radiographic appearance of anatomy and pathology of each view. Image acquisition parameters and quality characteristics will be discussed in detail, focusing on how multiple factors can affect the image's spatial resolution, contrast, and noise level. Finally, an overview of the image evaluation process, including an example evaluation of a shoulder image to help the RT understand the process will be detailed.

H3: 984.227.8560 H3: Newsletter Course DescriptionBreast cancer is the second-most diagnosed cancer in women (after skin cancer) and can often be found through self-examinations before any symptoms appear. According to the America Cancer Society, about 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. Early detection is critical to improve outcomes, survival rate, and successful treatment of each patient. Computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) technology is used to improve the quality of mammograms, which can assist the radiologist with interpreting the images correctly and identify possible abnormalities that are undetectable by the human eye. While not all breast cancers can be detected through a self-examination or a mammogram, regular screenings can greatly increase the chances of early detection, successful treatment, and even a cure. The use of CAD in mammography can increase sensitivity of mammograms and plays a supporting and final interpretive role in diagnosis. This continuing education course will outline the process of analyzing mammograms utilizing a CAD system and present an updated system that introduces advanced techniques used to overcome the difficulty of identifying subtle signs of breast cancer and its stage. Segmentation, or the separation of the abnormal part (mass) from normal breast tissue on an image, will be presented with current approaches and practices as well as modifications for mammograms. In addition, feature extraction techniques and classification methods, the 2 most important steps in designing CAD systems, will be examined and compared.

H3: 984.227.8560 H3: Newsletter Course DescriptionAccording to the Alzheimer's Association, as of 2023, an estimated 6.7 million Americans aged 65 and older are living with Alzheimer's disease (AD), and an estimated 200 000 Americans aged 30 to 64 have been diagnosed with early onset AD. Since the aging population is seen frequently in medical imaging departments for a variety of reasons, the likelihood of radiologic technologists (RT) encountering and interacting with a patient diagnosed with AD is high. For patients with suspected AD, medical imaging studies such as computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, or positron emission tomography may be ordered to support an AD diagnosis or rule out other conditions or diseases. The goal for all RTs should be to provide a high level of patient care in order to perform a successful imaging study, as well as have an overall understanding of AD, and the best way to interact with AD patients at various stages of disease progression and symptoms. Doing so will ensure that the patient, other RTs, other healthcare providers on the patient's care team, and the patient's primary caregiver will all have a positive experience and that the imaging study will be successful. This continuing education podcast explains AD as a neurogenerative disease, the signs and symptoms of AD, methods of diagnosis, and treatment options. It will also identify general healthcare and medical imaging challenges faced by RTs and outline strategies and considerations for RTs who image patients with AD.

H3: 984.227.8560 H3: Newsletter Course DescriptionWhile radiation therapy can provide life-saving treatment for patients, it can also cause harm if safety procedures are not carefully implemented and followed. Understanding the potential risks is the first step to minimizing radiologic technologist (RT), radiation therapist, and patient exposure. Having a clear understanding of the regulations for radiation safety helps build a solid foundation of knowledge. To adequately minimize exposure to patients, RTs, radiation therapists, and the general public, a variety of strategies must be used, including monitoring personnel radiation levels through a variety of dose measuring devices and techniques, among others. In addition, knowing federal and state regulations regarding radiation protection, safety, and reporting procedures is also vital in radiation safety and protection. This course will explore radiation safety in radiology and radiation therapy via building safety, equipment control, accuracy of treatments, monitoring personnel for radiation exposure, and knowledge of rules and regulations regarding radiation safety, protection, and incident reporting.

H3: 984.227.8560 H3: Newsletter Course DescriptionRadiography is a vital component of diagnosing and directing the treatment of extremity injuries in patients who have experienced a traumatic incident. Radiological technologists (RTs) are responsible for producing these high-quality images in a fast-paced, changing environment. Producing optimal images while providing excellent patient care are the most important goals for an RT in a trauma setting. These tasks require extensive knowledge of the anatomy and pathologies of the upper and lower extremities, the best imaging techniques to use for each situation, and how to assess a patient's condition throughout the examination. This course will outline the RT's role in the trauma team, including the significance of maintaining clear and open communication within the team during mobile imaging. The benefits of preparing for the examination in advance will be discussed, along with proper procedures for patient verification, obtaining consent, and building rapport. A review of common trauma pathologies will be provided, including fractures, dislocations, foreign bodies, and traumatic amputations. Specifically, each major joint and bone of the upper and lower extremities will be covered in detail, with a discussion of common injuries and their specialized trauma views and radiographic appearance. This course will also cover proper patient transfer techniques and accessory radiography equipment, such as immobilization devices and the stationary grid. Finally, an overview of safety issues will be included, specifically regarding standard precautions, patient monitoring, and radiation safety.

H3: 984.227.8560 H3: Newsletter Course DescriptionRecently, there has been a growing understanding that all concussions involve some level of brain injury. In addition, few issues in the field of sports medicine have had as high a profile or generated as much public interest as traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) or sports-related concussions. TBIs are clinically divided into a spectrum of severities, with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) being the least severe, but with the most frequent occurrence in contact sports. Recently, a long-term consequence of repetitive head injuries like mTBIs has been identified, a chronic neurodegenerative disorder known as chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). CTE has primarily been reported in patients and athletes who engage in combat-like or contact sports as well as military veterans. Despite the increased attention, however, confusion and controversy persist, from how to define a concussion, how repetitive concussions affect the vulnerability of athletes, to future injury progression, and when is it safe for a player to return to the sport. As these recently identified neurologic conditions are seen more frequently, it is important for radiologic technologists who may image patients with this condition be well educated about the anatomy of the brain, these conditions, and how best to perform the necessary imaging studies to diagnose or rule out mTBIs, CTE, and other acute and chronic neurologic conditions. This course will review in detail the anatomy of the skull, the parts of the brain, and the nervous system. It will also provide a review of the basic parts and functionality of the most used modalities employed in neuroimaging, specifically, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and positron emission tomography-CT. Definitions and classifications of various forms of TBI and other types head injuries will be outlined and described and visual examples of how these injuries may appear on screen using CT, MRI, and/or PET-CT will be provided. Finally, steps that sports organizations are taking to protect and treat athletes who are susceptible to or may have sustained head injuries will be noted.

H3: 984.227.8560 H3: Newsletter Course DescriptionSince the 1970s, the concept of professional burnout has become even more relevant after it was initially researched by Dr Herbert J. Freudenberger. Further examination and study was conducted in the 1980s by Christina Maslach, through which burnout syndrome was correlated with individuals working in helping professions, such as healthcare providers. Over time, additional research has delineated the causes and risk factors for professional burnout, such as stress, age, and lack of self-care. Burnout in the healthcare profession is an urgent crisis, particularly for radiologic technologists (RTs) and radiology departments as a whole. Research has shown that burnout syndrome can have detrimental effects such as the loss of promising RTs and loss of employee confidence and morale. However, burnout syndrome can be treated with the help of coworkers and the department by providing intervention, guidance, and support. The purpose of this podcast is to identify burnout in the workplace, identify the signs and symptoms of professional burnout, and how it affects RTs, coworkers, and radiology departments as a whole. Personal experiences with burnout are also shared as well as strategies for supporting and treating employees and coworkers experiencing burnout syndrome.

H3: 984.227.8560 H3: Newsletter Course DescriptionEven well into the 21st century, breast cancer still claims thousands of lives every year in the United States (US). Some patient populations are more susceptible to missed diagnoses, particularly those with dense breasts. However, digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) has proven to be a helpful radiologic tool to assist with catching breast cancer early during breast screenings. Combined with other modalities, DBT provides views and angles that may not be able to be achieved using digital mammography alone. To that end, it is crucial that breast imaging radiologic technologists and mammographers working with DBT are kept up-to-date about the latest data and information in order to effectively perform this imaging study and provide the best possible patient care. This course will review the impact that breast cancer has had in the US and how a patient's age, medical and family history, and breast density impact their risk of being diagnosed with breast cancer. A review of breast anatomy will be detailed as will a description of the most commonly diagnosed types of breast cancer and various treatment options. An overview of breast cancer tumor staging, breast density descriptors and reporting procedures, and national and local legislation requiring patient notification regarding their breast density will also be given. The role of DBT in screening patients for breast cancer and how best to utilize it along with other forms of mammography will be discussed. Finally, DBT functionality, equipment, processes, image acquisition, quality control, and radiation safety considerations will all be highlighted.

H3: 984.227.8560 H3: Newsletter Course DescriptionFluoroscopy is designed to provide real-time images of dynamic processes occurring within the body, especially when an imaging contrast is used along with it. Since the late 1800s, fluoroscopy has been in clinical use, and it has been used for diagnostic, therapeutic, and interventional procedures. Over time, fluoroscopy has grown and evolved and is currently used in numerous medical specialties, including orthopedics, pain management, neurology, gastroenterology, cardiology, and vascular specialties among many others. Radiation doses and the risk of radiation dose-related injury to both interventionalists and radiologic technologists (RTs) and patients are typically higher with interventional fluoroscopic systems that utilize 2 ionizing radiation sources, including biplane fluoroscopic systems. As a result, each clinical scenario involving biplane fluoroscopy should be carefully evaluated to justify the procedure, limit adverse effects, and utilize guidelines and protocols to prevent harm to patients and staff. A review of the most current technological features as well as safety measures and procedures can greatly benefit all radiological imaging professionals. This course will serve as a review of current fluoroscopic biplane systems, their features, technical parameters, and various components. It will also review the latest safety precautions and protocols that should be adhered to by both RTs and patients during biplane fluoroscopic imaging studies. Finally, this course will also prepare RTs and all imaging professionals working in a fluoroscopy suite on how to avoid significant dose events or accidental or unintended exposures of patients and how to recognize significant dose events and identify patients at risk for radiation-induced tissue reactions.

Acquiring a CT image first depends on setting appropriate imaging parameters to produce the X-ray beam and ensuring the correct anatomy is scanned. Depending on the protocol, there are different methods for acquiring CT images, including axial, helical, volumetric, and dual-energy CT scanning. After acquisition, the images are reconstructed and postprocessed for optimal viewing, with postprocessing techniques like multiplanar reformation and 3-dimensional reconstructions that are used to view anatomy from different angles while highlighting specific tissues. This course will essentially provide a review of some of the basic concepts of image production, display, quality, and reconstruction methods in CT. Specifically, the relationship between factors involved in image production, display, and manipulation will be explored. The ways in which image quality is impacted by noise, spatial resolution, contrast resolution, and artifacts will be outlined. Common imaging artifacts will be discussed, including their causes, appearances, and ways to minimize them. This course will also cover the radiologic technologist's (RT's) role in performing quality control tests and review how facilities can receive American College of Radiology Accreditation for their CT department.

H3: 984.227.8560 H3: Newsletter Course DescriptionMammography is the primary modality for breast cancer screening, with a supplementary contrast-enhanced-magnetic resonance imaging (CE-MRI) examination recommended for high-risk patients. These modalities are very effective in diagnosing patients with breast cancer, but both have limitations that require research and protocol updates for improved detection. Mammography has a lower sensitivity than CE-MRI, or lower ability to correctly detect pathology. Digital breast tomosynthesis and contrast-enhanced (CE) mammography are 2 innovative technologies that can potentially improve the sensitivity of mammography. MRI examinations can be lengthy, are usually expensive, and are sometimes unavailable for a large portion of the population. However, reducing the examination time with abbreviated or ultrafast protocols can preserve the high sensitivity and ultimately lower the cost, which can allow more patients to be scanned in a single day. Other innovations in MRI of the breast include updating equipment to improve image quality and creating a protocol that does not require contrast injection. Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have also improved lesion detection and diagnosis, assisting radiologists with interpretation, speed, and accuracy. This course will outline new techniques and protocols in mammography and MRI, consider the benefits and limitations of each new technique, and describe how AI with computer-aided detection combined with diagnosis may improve breast cancer screening results.

Mammography is the primary modality for breast cancer screening, with a supplementary contrast-enhanced-magnetic resonance imaging (CE-MRI) examination recommended for high-risk patients. These modalities are very effective in diagnosing patients with breast cancer, but both have limitations that require research and protocol updates for improved detection. Mammography has a lower sensitivity than CE-MRI, or lower ability to correctly detect pathology. Digital breast tomosynthesis and contrast-enhanced (CE) mammography are 2 innovative technologies that can potentially improve the sensitivity of mammography. MRI examinations can be lengthy, are usually expensive, and are sometimes unavailable for a large portion of the population. However, reducing the examination time with abbreviated or ultrafast protocols can preserve the high sensitivity and ultimately lower the cost, which can allow more patients to be scanned in a single day. Other innovations in MRI of the breast include updating equipment to improve image quality and creating a protocol that does not require contrast injection. Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have also improved lesion detection and diagnosis, assisting radiologists with interpretation, speed, and accuracy. This course will outline new techniques and protocols in mammography and MRI, consider the benefits and limitations of each new technique, and describe how AI with computer-aided detection and accurate diagnosis may improve breast cancer screening results. * This sample course is for reference purposes only.

H3: 984.227.8560 H3: Newsletter Course DescriptionBeing able to employ radiation protection techniques begins with comprehending the basic principles of radiation physics. Understanding how electrons are produced and the process of photon creation from electron interactions at the anode target are the first steps. Although the X-ray beam characteristics change as the energy varies, the properties of X-ray photons are consistent with other forms of electromagnetic radiation. Photons leave the port window and travel towards the patient where they will interact with the atoms that make up a patient’s anatomy. These interactions depend on the energy delivered. The result of the interaction will affect patient radiation dose and the resulting radiographic image. The biological effects of radiation exposure can cause short-term or long-term effects. As a result, radiologic technologists must understand how to reduce the potential for these effects to occur through technical factors, patient positioning, and equipment dose reduction options and protection strategies. In addition to protecting patients, personnel should also protect themselves from scatter radiation by following the 3 cardinal rules of radiation protection: time, distance, and shielding.

H3: 984.227.8560 H3: Newsletter Course DescriptionNuclear medicine is a specialized area of radiology that utilizes a small amount of radioactive material, or radiopharmaceuticals/tracers, to image organ function and internal structures. Nuclear medicine imaging involves functional imaging, molecular imaging, and emission tomography compared to structural imaging such as computed tomography (CT), X-ray, magnetic resonance imaging, and sonography. Structural imaging modalities are primarily used to image and study the anatomy, whereas nuclear medicine imaging is used to study organ and tissue function. Nuclear medicine scans are used to detect many conditions and diseases, which are primarily performed with diagnostic and therapeutic applications. As the use of nuclear imaging has advanced significantly since it was first developed, a review of the basic principles and concepts of this modality is beneficial for all radiologic technologists who operate this equipment and perform these studies. This CE course will compare the advantages and disadvantages of single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), positron emission tomography (PET), and hybrid nuclear medicine/molecular imaging/emission imaging. In addition, the physics of emission tomography including photon emission and interactions, as well as various types of acquisition systems such as SPECT and PET imaging will be reviewed. Methods of image reconstruction, including filter back-projection, iterative, and quantitative reconstruction methods, will be outlined and clinical applications of emission tomography and advances in hybrid imaging will also be discussed. Finally, the differences between various radioactive materials and radiopharmaceuticals used for each type of imaging, the imaging equipment used, and the future direction of nuclear medicine and molecular imaging will be summarized.

H3: 984.227.8560 H3: Newsletter Course DescriptionWhen looking at the radiobiological effects of radiation, it is important to separate radiation based on how various types of radiation damages cells and tissues differently. Radiation therapists and radiologic technologists (RTs) need to understand not only the different types of radiation based on how energy is deposited, but also how this radiation damage affects the body. While studying radiobiology, it is helpful to examine the effects of radiation on individual cells, tissues, and organ systems. Then, a thorough review of total body acute syndromes and the late-effects of radiation can be conducted. Beginning with understanding the radiobiologic effects on a single cell and expanding that understand to long-term effects on the body overall, one can gain a better insight into the total overall effects of radiation. In addition to the above, this course will also review the basics of cell division and replication, the development of chromosomal and DNA abnormalities as a result of radiation exposure, how different types of radiation effect cells, organs, and tissue, linear energy transfer, survival curves, and the different types of cancer that can develop as a result of radiation exposure.

H3: 984.227.8560 H3: Newsletter Course DescriptionProstate cancer (PCa) is the second-most common type of cancer diagnosed in men worldwide, with about 1 in 9 men being diagnosed with PCa in their lifetime. Men with PCa often experience no symptoms in its early stages, and diagnostic techniques are either invasive, resource intensive, or have low efficacy, making widespread early detection very difficult. Recently, multimodality radiologic imaging has become extremely important in diagnosing and staging, as well as post-treatment evaluation and detecting recurrences of PCa. Typically, only 2 diagnoses, benign prostatic hyperplasia and PCa, cover more than 95% of cases of PCa disease. Current diagnostic tools and treatment goals are focused on identifying and treating patients with adverse high-risk tumors, while minimizing overtreating those with low-risk tumors. The most common method for detecting PCa is a systematic sonography-guided prostate biopsy in those with elevated prostate-specific antigen levels and/or positive findings on a digital rectal examination. However, using only these methods can sometimes fail to diagnose all patients. As a result, multiple modalities and/or testing strategies are often employed. Transrectal ultrasonography, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are also used for early detection and recurrence of PCa, as well as for detecting distant metastases. Nuclear imaging-based positron emission tomography (PET)-CT is also a rapidly developing technique that helps compensate for the limitations of whole-body evaluation and precise prognosis prediction. As PCa and other diseases and conditions of the prostate can be difficult to detect, it's imperative that radiologic technicians (RTs) of all modalities be well versed in the best strategies for conducting common tests and imaging studies and how they should be employed. This course will provide an overview of imaging modalities currently used for diagnosing men with PCa, and other diseases of the prostate, including sonography, MRI, CT, and PET-CT, along with step-by-step procedures, safety considerations, and patient preparations for each. It will also outline the value of these modalities in distinct clinical scenarios, ranging from initial diagnosis to biopsy guidance techniques, treatment monitoring, and detection of metastasis. A detailed overview of the anatomy of the prostate, tumor staging and grading scales, and examples of various diseases of the prostate and how they appear on screen will also be provided.

Transrectal ultrasonography, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are also used for early detection and recurrence of PCa, as well as for detecting distant metastases. Nuclear imaging-based positron emission tomography (PET)-CT is also a rapidly developing technique that helps compensate for the limitations of whole-body evaluation and precise prognosis prediction. As PCa and other diseases and conditions of the prostate can be difficult to detect, it's imperative that radiologic technicians (RTs) of all modalities be well versed in the best strategies for conducting common tests and imaging studies and how they should be employed. This course will provide an overview of imaging modalities currently used for diagnosing men with PCa, and other diseases of the prostate, including sonography, MRI, CT, and PET-CT, along with step-by-step procedures, safety considerations, and patient preparations for each. It will also outline the value of these modalities in distinct clinical scenarios, ranging from initial diagnosis to biopsy guidance techniques, treatment monitoring, and detection of metastasis. A detailed overview of the anatomy of the prostate, tumor staging and grading scales, and examples of various diseases of the prostate and how they appear on screen will also be provided. * This sample course is for reference purposes only.

H3: 984.227.8560 H3: Newsletter Course Description Intimate partner violence (IPV) is defined as “…consistent and coercive verbal, emotional, and physical violence directed toward a current or former intimate partner.” IPV and domestic abuse are a continual, debilitating experience of physical, psychological, and the potential ongoing sexual abuse. Whenever anyone is placed in physical danger or controlled by the threat or use of physical force, the potential for intimate partner violence can occur. Although women can be violent in relationships with men, often in self-defense, and violence sometimes occurs in same-sex partnerships, the most common perpetrators of violence against women are current male intimate partners or ex-partners. In the United States, as many as 1 in 4 women and 1 in 9 men are victims of IPV. Many cases of domestic abuse are thought go unreported. IPV causes diminished psychological and physical health and decreases the overall quality of life of the victim and their family members. The goal of this article is to discuss adult-to-adult IPV and how medical imaging can assist healthcare providers in providing the proper diagnosis and legal incident documentation in assisting victims of abuse towards healing and safety.

It is the responsibility of radiologic technologists (RTs), as well as any healthcare provider, to adhere to HIPAA laws and regulations, as well as be aware of any additions or updates to them in their everyday practice and in regards to evolving technology. The American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) as well as the American Society of Radiologic Technologists (ASRT) have developed a Code of Ethics and Standards of Ethics, respectively, that encourage compliance with HIPAA guidelines for protecting patients' health information. In order to uphold them both, RTs of all modalities should be well versed with such regulations and changes to the law. All members of the healthcare team should also be thoroughly educated about the seriousness of violating HIPAA laws and the consequences they may suffer for failing to do so. This course will review and clarify HIPAA regulations, including all aspects of the law that pertain to the healthcare environment.

H3: 984.227.8560 H3: Newsletter Course DescriptionBy 2040, it is predicted there will be 80 million adults over the age of 65 in the United States, and with advanced age comes the higher probability of being at risk for or being diagnosed with osteoporosis (OP). This statistic coupled with the underestimation of this disease process in men, as well as the effect of certain cancer drugs, likely lead to an exponential increase in the number of older patients developing OP or osteopenia. OP is becoming an increasingly concerning public health issue, but effective interventions and treatments for fragility fractures are now available. Digital radiographic techniques allow clinicians to visualize bone structure. Unfortunately, they do not offer information about bone mineral density (BMD), which can facilitate early diagnosis and treatment of patients with OP. In contrast, bone densitometry helps detect bone mineral loss at an early stage, because it provides accurate quantitative measurement of BMD. Dual X-ray absorptiometry is generally considered to be the gold standard in the assessment of patients' BMD to determine the risk of fracture and monitor treatment effectiveness. Other imaging and quantitative techniques used to analyze bone quality include quantitative computed tomography (QCT), high-resolution peripheral QCT, magnetic resonance imaging, and quantitative ultrasonography. This course will cover current techniques to measure BMD, describe novel techniques to study bone quality, and focus on how standard imaging techniques should be used to establish BMD values for initial treatment and follow-up.

H3: 984.227.8560 H3: Newsletter Course DescriptionThe majority of professions in the healthcare industry, as well as those that revolve around providing care in general, are typically subject to a great deal of stress and anxiety, which often results in employee burnout. Burnout syndrome encompasses a variety of mental and emotional characteristics, which may eventually lead to the employee withdrawing from their work environment and from those to whom they provide care. Individuals may also experience a lack of empathy, increased hostility, which sometimes leads to resignation. Given the fast pace and workload of today's imaging facilities or radiology departments, radiologic technologists (RTs) also suffer from burnout in large numbers. RTs who are affected by burnout also affect their coworkers, other staff members, as well as the patients they work with and treat. Being able to recognize the symptoms of burnout and work within themselves to address it can benefit not just the individual but the entire healthcare team. This course will define and discuss various aspects of burnout syndrome, and how they impact not only the RT but also the radiologist and other healthcare team members. It will also address how different personality traits and personal circumstances may lead individuals to experience burnout more readily than others. Finally, healthy coping strategies and ways to remedy or prevent burnout all together will be outlined.

Technological advancements in breast imaging  have evolved to digital mammography and the development of digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT), all of which have improved clinicians' abilities to detect small, early stage breast cancers. Digital mammography is the initial diagnostic modality used in breast imaging, and its results determine if a patient requires additional studies such as targeted breast sonography, DBT, contrast-enhanced mammography, and breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Regardless of the current advances in technology, knowledge of proper patient and breast positioning are still critical in order for radiologic technologists and mammographers obtain high-quality diagnostic images that can rule out the presence of breast disease. This CE course will review the standard and supplemental projections that pertain to both screening and diagnostic mammography examinations for the detection of breast disease in women. Troubleshooting common image quality issues and how best to resolve them will be described. Finally, the anatomy of the breast will be reviewed, various breast pathologies will be outlined, and detail supplementary breast projections to accommodate a variety of patient types will be described.

H3: 984.227.8560 H3: Newsletter Course DescriptionThere are 3 main determinants of radiographic quality: receptor exposure, spatial resolution, and distortion. Many factors can affect these elements of quality which can ultimately impact the diagnostic quality of the image. Radiologic technologists (RTs) need to understand the relationships between these factors and the 3 factors that effect image quality. Receptor exposure can be affected by milliamperage (mAs), kilovoltage peak (kVp), source-to-image distance (SID), grids, tube filtration, beam restriction, the anode heel effect, and patient factors. Spatial resolution can be affected by object-to-image distance (OID), SID, focal spot size, motion, and patient factors, as well as tube, part, and receptor angle. Distortion can be affected by OID, SID, and patient factors, and tube, part, as well as the receptor angle. Understanding these individual elements and how they relate to receptor exposure, spatial resolution, and distortion will allow RTs to produce the highest quality diagnostic image possible while minimizing radiation dose to the patient and personnel. This CE course seeks to explain these factors and explore their relationships to improve RTs' grasp of radiographic quality.

There are 3 main determinants of radiographic quality: receptor exposure, spatial resolution, and distortion. Many factors can affect these elements of quality which can ultimately impact the diagnostic quality of the image. Radiologic technologists (RTs) need to understand the relationships between these factors and the 3 factors that affect image quality. Receptor exposure can be affected by milliamperage (mAs), kilovoltage peak (kVp), source-to-image distance (SID), grids, tube filtration, beam restriction, the anode heel effect, and patient factors. Spatial resolution can be affected by object-to-image distance (OID), SID, focal spot size, motion, and patient factors, as well as tube, part, and receptor angle. Distortion can be affected by OID, SID, and patient factors, and tube, part, as well as the receptor angle. Understanding these individual elements and how they relate to receptor exposure, spatial resolution, and distortion will allow RTs to produce the highest quality diagnostic image possible while minimizing radiation dose to the patient and personnel. This CE course seeks to explain these factors and explore their relationships to improve RTs' grasp of radiographic quality. * This sample course is for reference purposes only.

H3: 984.227.8560 H3: Newsletter Course DescriptionLung cancer is a common disease with approximately 3 million new diagnosed patients worldwide, and it is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in many countries. Approximately 80% of patients are diagnosed with nonsmall-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and 20% are diagnosed with small-cell-lung cancer. Throughout the course of diagnosis and treatment, patients may undergo multiple imaging studies depending on their cancer type and treatment course. For patients diagnosed with NSCLC, the use of computed tomography (CT), positron emission tomography (PET), and a combination of both (PET-CT) are commonly used. As a result, it is imperative that radiologic technologists (RTs) are educated about the roles each modality plays in the diagnosis and treatment of this patient population. This textbook chapter course will discuss and focus on patients with NSCLC, how patients with this type of lung cancer are evaluated, tumor assessment, and tumor staging. This course will also examine lung nodule staging and the roles that CT, PET, and PET-CT play in determining nodule size, chest wall invasion, lymph nodule involvement, and metastatic spread. Noninvasive imaging modalities that are used to evaluate patients with solitary pulmonary modules are also discussed. CT, PET, and PET-CT, their advantages and disadvantages in the assessment, staging and restaging, tumor recurrence, and radiation therapy planning will be closely examined. Advances in integrated PET/CT-fusion of data sets and their promising future in diagnostic imaging and staging will also be covered.

H3: 984.227.8560 H3: Newsletter Course DescriptionIn addition to digital mammography, digital breast tomosynthesis, and breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), diagnostic ultrasound (US)/sonography is a valuable supplementary tool in breast imaging. Breast sonography is often used as an additional breast cancer detection modality in women who have dense breast tissue and a negative mammogram. Sonography is currently the primary imaging modality recommended for guiding breast biopsies and other types of interventional breast procedures for its ability to monitor real-time needle-to-lesion guidance as well as for closer examination of suspicious lesions found on screening mammography. However, conventional handheld US (HHUS) has several limitations such as operator dependence, small field-of-view, lack of reproducibility and standardization, as well as requiring a considerable amount of time from the radiologist for scanning oversight. To remedy some of these limitations, the incorporation and use of automated breast ultrasound scanners (ABUS) may be employed. ABUS is a dedicated method that scans the breast in an automated, standardized manner, with a transducer that is larger than that used in conventional breast sonography. It is a 3-dimensional imaging tool that can be used for supplemental screening primarily in women with dense breasts. In order to provide patients with high-quality and thorough breast screenings and in-depth examinations, radiologic technologists and sonographers should be familiar with the unique display mode, imaging features, patient positioning, and artifacts associated with using ABUS, which differ from those used in HHUS. This course will provide a review of breast anatomy, general information about sonography and the physics of sonography, as well as an update on the types of equipment used in breast sonography, the concepts, technical aspects, pitfalls, and the use of ABUS in clinical practice compared with traditional targeted HHUS.

Although the true prevalence of transgender people in the United States (US) and around the world is unknown due to biases in reporting, poor surveillance, and misapprehension of the myriad aspects of gender identification and expression, estimates suggest the total population ranges from 8 to 25 million globally, with about 12% to 15% living in the US. Transgender and nonbinary people are often subjected to discrimination and harassment from the public. Physical abuse is also common. Even within the healthcare system, transgender patients commonly face prejudice and exclusion. Medical care is often denied to transgender people because of their gender identity, healthcare providers are frequently ignorant of the issues and concerns pressing on this cohort, and healthcare facilities are often unwelcoming and insensitive. As a result, many transgender patients postpone essential medical care, delay diagnostic examinations, and often do not return for necessary follow-up care. These delays can be problematic, as transgender people have unique health-related needs due to their transitioning, which often involving gender-affirming hormone therapy, surgical reconstruction, and augmentation. During this process, breast imaging is an important component in the delivery of care. While diagnostic-imaging protocols for transgender patients are, in the main, similar to those for cisgender women, the screening guidelines promulgated by various professional societies differ. Emerging evidence suggests that transgender women taking hormone therapy may have an elevated risk of breast cancer. All members of the radiology care team must be aware of the breast-imaging considerations of this special population and the need to show compassion, respect, and inclusivity during all phases of the imaging examination. This course will explore the current place of mammography and breast imaging in caring for transgender patients. After delineating the recommended terminology to be used in addressing the transgender population, the need for heightened cultural sensitivity, and the importance of clear healthcare-provider and patient communication, factors related to medical hormone therapy, surgery, and breast development in transgender men and women will be discussed. Imaging characteristics and appearances will be described, as will a summary of the several professional society recommendations, focusing in particular on the American College of Radiology (ACR) Appropriateness Criteria for the use of mammography and other breast imaging. Special diagnostic considerations for transgender patients will also be discussed. An overview of current challenges, including barriers to care and the need to improve imaging-center performance will also be addressed.

H3: 984.227.8560 H3: Newsletter Course DescriptionCardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) is an excellent imaging modality that is the gold standard for assessing many cardiovascular abnormalities. CMR holds several advantages over other imaging modalities used to evaluate the heart, most notably that it is noninvasive, does not expose the patient to ionizing radiation, and provides functional and anatomical information about the heart, great vessels, and valves. In order for radiologic technologists to perform successful CMR studies, in-depth knowledge of both the anatomy of the heart and MR physics are essential. This course will review cardiac anatomy, as well as technical considerations of CMR including MRI physics, imaging planes, techniques/pulse sequences, contrast agents, patient preparation, imaging equipment, safety considerations, postimaging evaluation, CMR indications, and cardiac pathology. The pathology of coronary artery disease, cardiomyopathies, cardiac masses, pericardial disease, valvular disease, congenital heart disease, and diseases of the aorta and great vessels will also be presented.

H3: 984.227.8560 H3: Newsletter Course DescriptionThe pediatric patient population represents a wide age and size range, which presents challenges when performing fluoroscopy studies. Justification and optimization are important concepts, and the use of alternate nonionizing radiation imaging approaches should be employed whenever possible. However, fluoroscopy is used for many clinical indications. Ensuring that the right test, in the right patient, under the right conditions, and at the right time is the responsibility of healthcare providers prior to any imaging or interventional study. In many institutions, dedicated equipment for pediatric patients may not be available. Protection against imaging radiation is critical in pediatric patients, as they are more sensitive to the damaging effects and are expected to live longer than adults. This course will cover the basic principles of fluoroscopy, common pediatric procedures, and challenges and strategies to obtain optimal images in neonates, infants, children, and adolescents. The challenges involved in these procedures and the strategies needed to obtain optimal images in this population, while minimizing radiation dose, will be outlined in detail. Radiation protection and limiting dose is critical in pediatric patients as they are more sensitive to the damaging effects and are expected to live longer than adults. Important radiation protection concepts such time (decrease exposure time), distance (increase distance from source), shielding (introduce shields) and protocols (norms and standards for pediatric imaging) will also be covered.

H3: 984.227.8560 H3: Newsletter Course DescriptionMajor disease epidemics are typically associated with overcrowded living conditions, inadequate food storage, food-borne illnesses, and food safety issues. However, early disease spread did not spread very far due to the inability to travel across continents. Over time, epidemics became pandemics, and disease development and transmission transitioned from local spread to international exposure, as rail and ship travel made long-distance travel possible. Since early 2020, this scenario has been playing out as a newly discovered virus, COVID-19 and its variants, became an international pandemic after the original virus was first discovered in December 2019. From the first diagnosed patient up to the present day, the way clinicians and healthcare providers of all types diagnose, treat, and manage patients with COVID-19 has evolved. The importance that radiological imaging plays has been key to effectively treating patients of all ages and with varying comorbidities, particularly pediatric patients. As a result, it is critical that all radiology healthcare professionals are well educated and well versed in performing the necessary imaging studies that help diagnose and treat pediatric patients with COVID-19 and its associated conditions. This includes their role as consultants in advising clinicians on the appropriate use of chest radiography, computed tomography (CT), and lung sonography (LUS) as diagnostic tools. It is also important for radiologic technologists (RTs) to produce the highest quality diagnostic studies for the subtle findings of COVID-19 to be interpreted by the radiologist. This course will provide up-to-date information about the development of COVID-19 since its discovery, disease spread, vaccine types and approvals for pediatric patients, and infection control procedures and protocols. It will also address the possible complications of COVID-19 diagnosis, related conditions and disease courses, and how chest X-rays, CT, and LUS best assist healthcare professionals in the most effective treatment and management of infants, children, and adolescents.
