Dallas, TX US
February 14, 2015

Are you up to date with advances in diagnostic imaging and therapies that are available to your patients? Do you know when to order a high resolution or multiphase CT scan? Experts will discuss the most appropriate imaging technologies available to diagnose and treat common illnesses. Our expert panels will answer those “always wanted to know...” questions, which sometimes lead to overuse of medical imaging and can be costly for patients. A special breakout topic will address appropriate management of back pain avoiding unnecessary imaging.
