SUMMARY:Quality Bone Densitometry For Technologists (livestream via Zoom)
DESCRIPTION:Quality Bone Densitometry: Performance\, Interpretation\, and Clinical Application for Technologists\nAn Osteoporosis Essentials Course of the International Society for Clinical Densitometry & International Osteoporosis Foundation \nThe core elements of this program focus on performing quality DXA scans\, dissecting the data and applying this knowledge to a technologist’s role in patient care. This course\, which focuses on quality DXA\, is innovative\, interactive and informative. The course emphasizes technical excellence in the performance\, analysis\, and troubleshooting of bone densitometry scans. The course will provide standard practices and applications to raise the quality of DXA scan procedures and their impact on patient care. This is achieved by enhancing awareness of the technical expertise involved in performing bone densitometry and applying protocols to address everyday challenges. The course focuses on the considerable impact that a technologist plays in the delivery of quality DXA\, and how that influences patient management. \nPrerequisite and Optional videos are included in the registration fees. Access to that content will be made available to registered participants 30 days prior to the course start date through the ISCD online education portal. \nTarget Audience: The course is most appropriate for those involved in the performance of DXA scans and open to any health professional performing these scans. \nCourse Schedule: (All Times Listed in US Eastern Time) \nPre-requisites \n\n\n\nVideo A – Overview of Osteoporosis\nVideo B – Fundamentals of Bone Densitometry\, Physics\, Radiation Safety\, and Quality Assurance\nOptional Video C – What US Healthcare Providers Need to Know about DXA for Patient Care\n\n\n\nDay 1: The Importance of the Technologist in patient care and quality performance of DXA Scans\nDay 1 Objectives: After attending the course\, participants should be better prepared to: \n\nDesign and implement quality control and assurance practices\nPerform a precision assessment and appreciate the requirement for clinical care\nIdentify the anatomy relevant to clinical DXA scanning\nImplement consistent and appropriate technical acquisition and analysis techniques\nPerform a fracture risk assessment using FRAX\n\nDay 1 Schedule (All Times Listed in US Eastern Time) \n\n\n\n10:00am – 11:30am\nLecture 1: Elements of a Quality DXA Practice\n\n\n11:30am – 11:35am\n5-minute break\n\n\n11:35am – 12:35pm\nLecture 2: Lumbar Spine Scans-Elements Critical to Quality\n\n\n12:35pm – 12:40pm\n5-minute break\n\n\n12:40pm – 2:10pm\nLecture 3: Femur & Forearm Scans\n\n\n2:10pm – 2:40pm\nQ&A Lunch Session\n\n\n2:40pm – 3:25pm\nLecture 4: Scan Interpretation & Fracture Risk Assessment\n\n\n3:25pm – 3:55pm\nLecture 5: Supplemental DXA Applications\n\n\n3:55pm – 4:00pm\n5-minute break\n\n\n4:00pm – 4:45pm\nLecture 6: Application of DXA Tools & Software Features\n\n\n\nDay 2: The Importance of Understanding and Applying the Science and Language of Densitometry\nDay 2 Objectives: After attending the course\, participants should be better prepared to: \n\nProvide DXA interpreters sufficient information for a high-quality DXA report\nUnderstand how specific medical conditions and medications affect bone density\nDemonstrate how to access features within the DXA software\nCritically evaluate DXA scans to identify acquisition and analysis errors and implement resolution methods\nRecognize how technical errors impact clinical interpretation and patient care\n\nDay 2 Schedule (All Times Listed in US Eastern Time) \n\n\n\n10:00am – 10:45am\nLecture 7: Principles of Quality DXA and Clinical Cases\n\n\n10:45am – 11:45am\nLecture 8: Clinical Management of the Osteoporotic Patient\n\n\n11:45am – 12:00pm\n15-minute break\n\n\n12:00pm – 12:30pm\nLecture 9: Clinical Application\n\n\n12:30pm – 1:30pm\nLecture 10: Technical Cases\n\n\n1:30pm – 2:30pm\nClosing Q&A Session\n\n\n\nCourse Continuing Education Credits: \nThis activity is approved by ASRT for 11.50 Category A continuing education credits.
