Continuing Medical Education
This activity has been planned and implemented in accordance with the Essential Areas and Policies of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) through the joint providership of Wright State University (WSU) and Premier Health. WSU designates this Live Activity for a maximum of 3 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)™. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.
As a result of this symposium, participants will gain a better understanding of:
- Diffusion imaging in staging and treatment of pediatric brain tumors
- Use of arterial spin labeling in evaluating and managing intracranial hypertension
- Novel techniques to assess blood flow oxygen metabolism in the brain
- Use of optical imaging in neurosurgical procedures
- Use of imaging in evaluation of patients for epilepsy surgery
Funding provided by the WSU Office of the Vice President for Research and Graduate Studies and the Miami Valley Hospital Medical Staff Continuing Medical Education Fund.
