Pulmonary Hypertension Imaging

Pulmonary hypertension is silent and often overlooked, with imaging and clinically, and is closely related to cardiac problems and pulmonary diseases.

Join Dr. Marc Gosselin (Oregon Health & Science University School of Medicine and Vision Radiology) as he provides an overview of the definition, classifications, clinical presentations, and treatment options of pulmonary hypertension, as well as radiographic and CT imaging findings and possible etiologies. Dr. Gosselin also dives into the important topic of contrast dynamics on CT and how you can use the information to find out more about patients’ underlying cardiopulmonary physiological status. 

Challenge yourself with this radiology course and then quiz yourself with Dr. Gosselin’s formative self-assessment session to reinforce the various principles covered!

This course will provide you with a practical set of instructions that you can apply on a daily basis at your workstation in topics like:

• Pulmonary artery hypertension (CT and radiographic approach)
• Chronic thromboembolic disease
• IVC contrast reflux
• Emphysema
• Normal pulmonary CTA
• Dyspnea 
• …and more!

After you’re done, check out these additional Chest Mastery Courses for further in-depth case review:

• Chest Radiograph Approach to Acquired Cardiac Disease
• Cardiopulmonary Imaging
• Cardiopulmonary Pattern Recognition
