FEATURED Programs
Clinical Applications of Gadopiclenol in Cardiac MRI
Credits: 0.5 Category A, ARRT and CRA   Format: Text Self-Study  
Gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) continue to advance the diagnostic value of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), by increasing the sensitivity and specificity for detecting a broad range of cardiac pathologies.
In this CE-accredited program, Mobeen Z Haider, MD, and Robert WW Biederman, MD, FACC, FAHA, FASA, FGSC, FSCMR, share their clinical experience and discuss considerations for selecting and utilizing GBCAs in cardiac MRI. In addition, case study examples demonstrate the clinical impact of gadopiclenol; supported by best practice suggestions for providing effective cardiac MR imaging services.
Gadopiclenol Injection | Considerations for Use in Breast MRI
Credits: 1.0 Category A, ARRT and CRA   Format: Audio Visual   Run Time: 60 Minutes
This educational program features Dr. Margarita Zuley’s clinical expertise and practice experience. Through case study examples she will share the indications for abbreviated breast MRI and the clinical rationale for implementing optimal imaging protocols using a lower gadolinium dose and clinical examples of the management of MRI detected findings.
Gadopiclenol | Considerations for Use in Pediatric MRI
Credits: 1.0 Category A, ARRT and CRA   Format: Audio Visual   Run Time: 60 Minutes
This educational program featuring Dr. Shreyas Vasanawala will cover pediatric MR imaging applications using Gadopiclenol, a recently approved gadolinium-based contrast agent (GBCAs).
Following a brief review of the literature and the currently available GBCAs, Dr. Vasanawala will discuss practice considerations as they relate to MRI contrast media selection and dose administration. Additionally, Dr. Vasanawala will share several case studies demonstrating the clinical value and benefits of Gadopiclenol for patients who may present with complex pathology and/or who may be subject to repeat contrast-enhanced MRI exams over their lifetime.
Imaging Bulk Package: A Compliant Solution in the CT Suite
Credits: 1.0 Category A, ARRT and CRA    Format: Audio Visual    Run Time: 60 Minutes
Since the 1990’s, multi-patient contrast administration has been available in the form of the Pharmacy Bulk Package (PBP), which is still offered by several contrast vendors. The FDA required that all related Prescribing Information (PI) sheets for the PBP include specific directions for the dispensing of the contrast from the PBP container. The PI language describes withdrawing the contrast from the bottle in a suitable work area, specifically “a laminar flow hood, using aseptic techniques”. However, this method is not possible in most CT Suites, as laminar flow hoods are generally located in the Pharmacy, not the CT suite.
This Expert Forum reviews the steps taken by the contrast media industry and the FDA to develop a safe and compliant solution for multi-patent contrast administration in CT. This solution is now available as the Imaging Bulk Package (IBP) which is approved for use in the CT Suite. This panel will also share their comprehensive process for incorporating IBP into their clinical practice.
