This activity was originally presented as a LIVE webinar on March 13, 2010. If you received credit for the live presentation, you are not eligible to receive credit for the online version, but you are welcome to use it as a resource in your practice. This webinar will present how radiology professionals and clinicians can reduce sedation and radiation exposure to patients while providing them with high quality diagnostic images. They can achieve this goal in their hospitals by hearing how one of their peers uses a 320-detector row CT system to provide safe imaging to pediatric patients. The presenter will discuss experiences with the equipment, share best practices and ideas and address any questions the group may have on safe, effective ways to scan children and minimize radiation exposure and the need for sedation. Radiologists and Radiology Technologists who are interested in the importance of reducing sedation and radiation exposure to pediatric patients At the conclusion of this presentation, the participant will be able to:

• Discuss the importance of reducing sedation and radiation exposure to patients while still providing high quality diagnostic images.
• Explain how to use a 320-detector row CT system safely to provide imaging to pediatric patients.
• Identify best practices for safely and effectively imaging children while minimizing radiation exposure and the need for sedation.

S. Bruce Greenberg, MD Radiologist Arkansas Children's Hospital Professor of Radiology University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences Little Rock, Arkansas

Dr. Greenberg completed his radiology residency at Thomas Jefferson University and pediatric radiology fellowship at St. Christopher's Hospital for Children in Philadelphia. During his 10 years on staff at St. Christopher's Hospital he developed expertise using magnetic resonance imaging for the evaluation of congenital heart disease imaging. Since moving to Arkansas Children's Hospital 11 years ago, Dr. Greenberg has continued to expand the use of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging for congenital heart disease and has developed multidetector computed tomography for the evaluation of congenital heart disease.

Dr. Greenberg has published over 50 peer reviewed manuscripts and multiple book chapters. He has served on multiple professional committees for the Radiological Society of North America, the Society of Pediatric Radiology, North American Society of Cardiovascular Imaging, and the American College of Radiology. Currently, Dr. Greenberg serves on the ACR pediatric guidelines committee, is chairman of the SPR Cardiac Task Force, and Treasurer of NASCI. His current professional interests include congenital heart disease imaging and low dose computed tomography techniques.

Dr. Greenberg has disclosed that he is on the Speaker’s Bureau for Toshiba America Medical Systems.
