Section 3: Radiology, chest, abdomen
This portion of the program is intended to be an enhanced review of the various types of radiology studies, appropriate utilization and technique of the studies being ordered, and quality-based decision-making related to studies that are part of the PQRS program. This will be a system-focused portion of the program, with the primary objective being to educate the participant that a broad differential diagnosis should be considered when examining each patient, and to reinforce the need to apply this broad differential when ordering studies and treatment. Each section of the human body will be presented to the participant, who will be given a comparison course book with normal anatomy to compare to a sequence of pathologic radiographs for review, comparison, and diagnosis. The intent of these modules is not to expect the participant to memorize and learn the details and nuances of a variety of fractures, but to learn mechanisms and patterns of disease and fractures that should be considered and identified in routine practice. In addition to plain film ordering and fracture diagnosis, learning about the appropriate immobilization/splinting and referral for routine fractures will also be taught with the objective that each participant have a working understanding of which fractures types require emergent management, urgent follow-up, routine follow-up, or expectant management. Paramount to practicing in the role of an Advanced Practice Provider will be the ability to communicate fracture findings to the receiving consultant, and the appropriate nomenclature will be reinforced. It will be an objective to present and briefly discuss the origin of each of the following radiographic findings:

13) Chest/Abdomen (1 Hour) Learning Objectives:
1. To differentiate between the different types of abdominal imaging.
