This month’s journal-based CME article is titled " Natural History of Enhancing Nodules on Cone Beam Computed Tomography During Transarterial therapy of Hepatocellular Carcinoma".This is a retrospective study to evaluate the natural history of incidental enhancing nodules (IEN) on contrast-enhanced cone beam computed tomography (CE-CBCT) encountered during transarterial treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
This program is designed to meet the educational needs of interventional radiologists, hepatobiliary surgeons, hepatologists, nurses, techs, and trainees at all levels with special interest in cirrhosis and HCC. To receive CME credit for this journal-based CME activity, participants must read the journal article and score 75% or better on the post test. Participants will have three opportunities to score 75% or better.
Learning Objectives
After participating in this journal-based CME activity, learners should be able to:
- Discuss the frequency of progression of an IEN to HCC.
- Describe risk factors that correlate with IEN progression to HCC.
- Understand rate of progression of an IEN to HCC.
