Activity Description
This activity was designed so attendees would receive an advanced overview of how to assess vertebral attenuation with reanalysis of previously acquired CTs that included the area of the lumbar spine (opportunistic CT).
Learning Objectives:
1. Identify the utility of using vertebral radiation attenuation by CT in assessing skeletal integrity
2. Learn how to measure vertebral HU attenuation
3. Understand what the effects of changes in technique of measuring vertebral HU attenuation are
Instructions:
Clinicians and Technologists are required to answer a set of online test questions following the review of the video and will have up to three attempts to answer questions correctly before losing credit for the activity. Once the activity test has been passed (75% or higher), you will be asked to evaluate the activity online and then be allowed to claim credit and print certificates.
