Round table of experts to discuss physics testing, point-of-care imaging, and exam interpretation.

Annapolis, MD, September 14, 2022 — RadSite™, a leading accrediting organization promoting performance and quality-based imaging practices, is announcing its fall webinar series discussing key Cone Beam CT imaging trends. The webinars feature experts in round table discussions to provide a more interactive experience, which will include taking questions from the audience.

Here is a summary and registration information for the three complimentary webinars:

October Webinar

Optimizing Cone Beam CT Physics and QA Testing: Perspectives on Imaging Equipment Calibration

Description: Because Cone Beam CT imaging systems are not regulated directly in most states, physics testing and QA protocols are usually directed by the manufacturers. Unfortunately, this has led to some inconsistencies in how performance assessments are implemented for Cone Beam CT providers, in contrast to traditional advanced diagnostic imaging (ADI) modalities such as CT, Nuclear Medicine, and MRI. In this session, some of the leading physicists in the Cone Beam CT field, who are members of RadSite Cone Beam CT Standards Committee, will provide their insights on some of the opportunities to standardize physics and QA equipment testing. This includes an overview of RadSite’s Dental and Medical Cone Beam CT ADI Standards, version 1.2.

Moderator: Phil Patton, PhD, RadSite Chief Physicist Officer; LBT Diagnostic Radiation Physics Consulting, President & COO.

  • Mason Anders, PhD, Dallas Field Office Director and Medical Physicist, West Physics
  • Joseph Mahoney, MS, DABR, Medical Physicist, Grove Physics
  • Dimitris Mihailidis, PhD., FACMP, FAAPM, Clinical Associate Professor, University of Pennsylvania, and AAPM Task Group 261 Chair

Date and Time: The webinar will take place at 1:00 p.m. (ET), October 27, 2022. Click here to register.
After this date, RadSite will make a recording of the webinar available on its website.

November Webinar

Leveraging Point-of-Care Imaging: The Expansion of Cone Beam CT Imaging

Description: Cone Beam CT imaging systems are now installed in thousands of locations throughout the U.S. What are the benefits and challenges associated with using this emerging diagnostic imaging technology, often at the patient’s point-of-care? This session will focus on several specialty areas that are demonstrating the clinical efficacy of using Cone Beam imaging systems.

Moderator: Garry Carneal, JD, MA, RadSite Chief Executive Officer
Presenters:

  • Mike Luick, COPM-C, Business Development Manager, Tungsten Medical Network
  • Jenna Roller, PA-C, Director of Clinical Applications, CurveBeam
  • Steve Carstensen, DDS, Premier Sleep Associates

Date and Time: The webinar will take place at 1:00 p.m. (ET), November 9, 2022. Click here to register. After this date, RadSite will make a recording of the webinar available on its website.

December Webinar

Interpreting Cone Beam CT Image Exams: Opportunities and Challenges

Description: Millions of Americans benefit from Cone Beam CT imaging both for medical and dental diagnostic procedures. In this webinar, experts discuss how to optimize these diagnostic images. This dynamic presentation will address the role of radiologists, dentists, and other qualified interpreting practitioners when interpreting Cone Beam CT studies. The webinar also will address what should be interpreted inside the field of view and what precautions should be taken to look at the adjacent anatomy. The RadSite Dental and Medical Cone Beam CT ADI Standards, version 1.2, will be discussed, related to the professional and technical requirements.

Moderator: Patrick Browning, MD, MA, MSL, Chief Medical Officer, RadSite

Presenters:

  • Barney Gill, VP Customer Development, BeamReaders, Inc.
  • Jacob D. Brown, MD, PhD, Chief Medical Officer, DentalRay
  • Judith M. Turner, VP Sales, Marketing and Operations, Proscan Reading Services

Date and Time: The webinar will take place at 1:00 p.m. (ET), December 8, 2022. Click here to register. After this date, RadSite will make a recording of the webinar available on its website.
