Learn from Dr. Scott Simpson as he goes through the three main distributions of micronodules, identifies the most common cause for each, and teaches you to recognize the radiographic and clinical features that can be useful in choosing one particular diagnosis.
After completing this course, you will be better able to:
- Apply appropriate search patterns to ensure high quality case assessment
- Identify key anatomical landmarks, variations, and abnormalities on imaging
- Accurately interpret advanced imaging cases
- Formulate definitive diagnoses and limited differentials
