The goal of the Radiology articles designated for self-assessment CME and their accompanying tests is to increase understanding of the radiologic characteristics of a variety of pathologic conditions and basic physics principles.

Content Areas (Codes):
The following Content Areas will be printed on the certificate for this course:

• Neuroradiology
• Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Learning Objectives:

• Develop a vessel wall (VW) MRI protocol that can identify intracranial vasculopathies and distinguish pathologic wall features from artifacts
• Identify reasons for flow artifacts and describe techniques to confirm lumen patency
• Specify reasons for VW enhancement and its mimics and define techniques for distinguishing them

This journal-based CME activity is estimated to take 1 hour to complete.

Start Date: 7/27/2021
