High Resolution CT of the Chest -- Updated Course Content

New Cases and Course Content beginning Fall 2024.

  • All new case library with 150 volumetric, scrollable cases carefully selected to apply and examine the knowledge gained with the lectures.
  • New and updated lectures incorporate the most recent diffuse lung disease guidelines including 2022 and 2020 UIP and HP guidelines, respectively.
  • New simplified case engine interface.

Earn up to 30.25 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™.

This three-day course is designed to provide radiologists with the skills and understanding necessary to interpret high-resolution CT of the chest for diffuse lung diseases. Participants will receive lectures on all aspects of HRCT interspersed with hands-on interpretation of related cases. Faculty provide direct supervision and assistance with hands-on interpretation at each learner’s workstation, delivering a personalized learning experience for every attendee. The cases are designed to be reviewed at the learner’s preferred pace, and faculty are available to discuss any questions while also sharing how they approach cases in the real world.

Diffuse lung diseases are encountered by all radiologists; therefore, our course target audience is broad. Any radiologist interpreting chest CTs who want to update their knowledge can benefit from this course. The case material covers a wide range of pathologies including fibrotic lung disease, smoking-related lung disease, lung-injury patterns, nodular lung disease, small and large airway disease, pulmonary vascular disease, and other less common entities often confused with diffuse lung disease.

The knowledge gained in this course will allow learners to develop a practical and structured approach to interpreting CT scans for diffuse lung diseases. The integration of clinical, radiologic, and pathologic information will be emphasized.

Program and Learning Objectives


At the conclusion of this course, participants will be able to:

  1. Describe the clinical indications and optimal technique for performing high resolution CT of the chest.
  2. Apply standard terminology to describe thoracic imaging findings.
  3. Apply a systematic approach to CT differential diagnosis based on the pattern and distribution of abnormalities.
  4. Recognize the clinical features of common interstitial lung diseases, including fibrotic lung disease, smoking-related lung disease, lung-injury patterns, nodular lung disease, small and large airway disease, pulmonary vascular disease, and other less common entities often confused with diffuse lung disease.
  5. Explain the significance of multidisciplinary discussion for the diagnosis of interstitial lung diseases and understand the mechanisms involved in collaborative decision-making and treatment planning, promoting holistic patient care.

These enhanced learning objectives provide a clear and comprehensive framework for participants to gain a deeper understanding of high-resolution CT of the chest, diagnostic techniques, interstitial lung diseases, and the collaborative aspect of patient management.

What Your Colleagues Are Saying


It is only four (4) days since I’ve returned from the ºÚÁÏÍø courses, and they have immediately started ‘paying dividends.’ This week I have correctly diagnosed a case of severe chronic aspiration, a textbook case of probable UIP, a great case of asymmetric bronchiectasis, and a classic case of lymphoid interstitial pneumonia—diagnoses that I would have been hard-pressed to see and report clearly before the HRCT course. Additionally, I distributed the primary article from the HRCT course to my colleagues, and two of them have already thanked me for it; it is a great article on working up chronic lung disease and UIP. So, the course is helping more than just me. They were great instructors and superb courses; attending these activities has made a significant improvement in my comfort and speed of dictation as well as improving the accuracy of my reports.

I have attended many CME programs during the last 20 years. This program ranks among the very best that I have had the pleasure of experiencing. The information that I have learned in the last 3 days will radically change my practice patterns (for the better).

I am truly impressed at how professional and accommodating the staff has been. This was not a cheap educational experience but it was well worth the time and money invested. I understand why so many of the radiologists here were repeat customers.
