WOMEN’S IMAGING IN WINE COUNTRY
OCTOBER 12–17, 2008 / SONOMA, CALIFORNIA
Women’s health continues to be a targeted area of medical care and
research, which is reflected by sub-specialization within private and
academic institutions, and the formation of societies and journals such
as the Society for the Advancement of Women’s Imaging and the Journal
of Women’s Imaging. Sub-specialty training within diagnostic radiology
devoted to diagnosing and treating conditions unique to women, and the
importance of an educational forum with emphasis on women’s health, are
well-established.
This course is designed for practitioners within radiology and other medical
or surgical specialties with a special interest in women’s imaging. The
overall goal of this program is to review current standards of practice
and update new developments in the imaging diagnosis of gynecologic,
obstetric, breast and musculoskeletal disorders.
Core concepts and future directions will be addressed, including breast and
gynecologic MRI and imaging of osteoporosis. Practical applications will be
highlighted with emphasis on optimal imaging approach, diagnostic impact
and pitfalls. Topics covered will include benign and malignant gynecologic
imaging, fetal imaging, breast imaging (including digital mammography,
MRI-guided biopsy, role of sonography) and osteoporosis. Attendees will
have increased knowledge of current imaging technology and protocols
applicable to women’s imaging.
At the completion of the course, participants should be able to:
1. Describe the role of imaging in the diagnosis and screening of ovarian
cancer;
2. Diagnose and list the pitfalls of benign and malignant gynecologic
conditions employing appropriate use of diagnostic sonography and
MRI;
3. Understand the correlative imaging characteristic between gynecologic
sonography and MRI and their respective roles;
4. Employ diagnostic pearls and pitfalls in obstetric sonography;
5. Describe the role of sonography in evaluating pelvic pain in the nonpregnant
woman;
6. Recognize sonographic features of early pregnancy complications;
7. Describe the role of sonography in breast imaging;
8. Describe the current applications and limitations of breast MRI and
digital mammography;
9. Describe diagnostic techniques to measure osteoporosis and list pitfalls
of osteoporotic fractures;
10. Understand current utility of cardiac CT and role of lung cancer
screening.

Sonoma Wine Country
www.sonoma.com
The Sonoma Valley is one of the premier wine producing areas in the world. It is centrally
located among the northern California wine regions between Napa and Russian River, making
it easy to visit all of the sites, attractions and vineyards just north of the San Francisco Bay
area. The region boasts a wonderful mixture of bed & breakfasts, restaurants, crafts shops,
destination spas, wineries, tasting rooms, music festivals, farmers markets, shopping, golf
and other recreational activities. The quality and diversity of activities makes the wine region a
preferred destination for the discriminating traveler. There is always something to do in the area
while the atmosphere invites you to relax and take your time. Daily temperatures at this time
of year are usually comfortable and sunny, and there is the added bonus of being in the wine
region during harvest time. Information on the region’s wineries and local scheduled events can
be found on the website listed above.
Welcome Reception
