All right. So with that, we've looked at all of the scans that we have in

0:04

this course, and hopefully this is useful, and

0:08

hopefully, we've set you up to create a good scan protocol at your

0:12

institution. We've highlighted the importance of having a consistent search

0:15

pattern, giving a crisp, actionable impression.

0:19

Clinically significant findings are seen in up to 15% of the patients,

0:23

especially in elderly patients with comorbidities.

0:26

You don't want to miss malignancies or diagnostic clues for

0:29

vascular pathologies. Make sure you're giving actionable

0:33

items to the interventional radiologist or the vascular surgeon and giving

0:37

them what they want in the impression. What's the disease burden?

0:40

What are the outflow targets? It can be a daunting study to

0:43

interpret with large z-axis of coverage,

0:47

multiple phases of contrast enhancement, important vascular and

0:51

non-vascular findings. But hopefully, this course provided you an

0:54

understanding of the anatomy at hand, the clinical questions we have to answer,

0:59

help you find a way to have an organized and structured

1:02

approach, and created an awareness of the spectrum of imaging findings that will

1:06

lead to a greater success in efficiently tackling these challenging

1:10

examinations for furthering patient care.

Thank you.
