Rosen\, MD\nDirector – Osteoporosis Prevention and Treatment Center\nBeth Israel Deaconess Medical Center\nBoston\, MA \n\nDr. Harold Rosen did fellowships in Endocrinology and Geriatrics at Beth Israel Hospital in Boston. He spent years doing clinical research in osteoporosis\, when he investigated the relationship between vitamin K and bone\, thyroid hormone-induced bone loss\, and the role of biochemical markers of bone turnover. In 1998 he became the Director of the Osteoporosis Prevention and Treatment Center at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston. In this capacity he runs bone densitometry\, sees patients in consultation for osteoporosis and metabolic bone disease\, and does research on optimizing performance and reporting of bone densitometry. He has been active in his professional society\, the ISCD (International Society for Clinical Densitometry) where he served on the Board of Directors from 2010-2013. Dr. Rosen is the recipient of the ISCD Clinician of the year Award in 2010\, and the recipient of the Paul Miller award for service to the ISCD in 2017. \n[efsbutton style=”” size=”” color_class=”” align=”left” type=”link” target=”false” title=”Register now” link=”https://cine-med.com/osteoporosis/register.php”]\nSupport\nThis activity is supported by an unrestricted educational grant from Hologic. \nContact\nThe administrator for this event is Ronda Hannon who can be reached at 203-263-0006 x107 \n

DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]\nQuality Bone Densitometry: Performance\, Interpretation\, and Clinical Application for Clinicians\n\nAn Osteoporosis Essentials Course of the International Society for Clinical Densitometry & International Osteoporosis Foundation\nThe core elements of this course serve to increase the knowledge and competence of clinicians regarding bone densitometry and osteoporosis diagnosis\, clinical evaluation\, treatment\, and monitoring and to apply standard practices to assure quality performance and interpretation of bone densitometry studies. The first day sets the standard to perform quality DXA interpretation\, while the second day focuses on the clinical assessment\, prevention\, treatment and management/monitoring of osteoporosis and the essential role that high-quality DXA plays in treatment initiation decisions and monitoring of osteoporotic patients. \nPrerequisite videos are included in the registration fees. Access to that content will be made available to registrants through the ISCD Learning Center 14 days prior to the course. \nTarget Audience:\nThe course is most appropriate for those involved in the performance and interpretation of DXA scans and those managing patients with osteoporosis.  It is open to MDs\, PhDs\, DOs\, Nurse Practitioners\, and Physician Assistants.  Technologists may attend

SUMMARY:ISCD 27th Annual Meeting
DESCRIPTION:We cordially invite you to join us for ISCD’s 27th Annual Meeting – Global Excellence Through Densitometry in the Digital Era. This will be ISCD’s first virtual conference\, but that doesn’t mean you will miss out on any of the learning or networking opportunities you have come to expect from ISCD. \nThe theme of our meeting embraces a global perspective on densitometry\, and our virtual platform will allow us to provide a truly international experience. The conference will feature live-streaming talks across time zones spanning North and South America\, Asia Pacific and Europe. Attendees will also have access to on-demand sessions available at any time from March 3-6. Participants may join live chats with renowned experts during “themed office hours” tailored to sought-after topics like FRAX\, TBS and interesting cases. And don’t forget ISCD’s networking sessions for interest groups in the areas of Pediatrics\, Rheumatology\, Radiology and more! \nThis year’s program will showcase topics that speak to ISCD’s forays into the digital era\, including osteoporosis management during the pandemic and therapies on the horizon. Demos/chat sessions with our sponsors will also grant insight into some of the most cutting-edge technologies/new developments in the field. \n[efsbutton style=”” size=”” color_class=”” align=”left” type=”link” target=”false” title=”Register Now” link=”https://my.iscd.org/Events/Calendar-Of-Events/Registration-Start?MeetingId=667e63f5-59d6-ea11-a813-000d3a191e87″] [efsbutton style=”” size=”” color_class=”” align=”left” type=”link” target=”false” title=”Visit our Annual Meeting Website” link=”https://am.iscd.org/”]
