This activity was designed to allow learners to understand when vitamin D is helpful in optimizing bone health, which preparations are the best to use, and which dosing regimen is most advantageous. Attendees can listen to a clear lecture by one of the leaders in the field of vitamin D and understand the state of the art of how and when to dose vitamin D most effectively.

This activity will give an update on diagnosis and indications for surgery with a focus on bone. This activity was designed to allow learners to understand how to approach which patients to refer for surgery for hyperparathyroidism.

DXA is critical to the assessment and management of patients with osteoporosis. We will review the current evidence on the benefits and limitations of serial DXA assessment in clinical practice.

This activity was designed to help learners understand how to diagnose and manage rare bone diseases such as hypophosphatemic rickets, hypophosphatasia and osteogenesis imperfecta.

This activity was designed to allow learners to understand the relationship between radius BMD and overall fracture risk as well as the impact of wrist fractures on skeletal health. Attendees can listen to a cogent, clear, concise and well-referenced lecture after which they will understand how the role of wrist BMD in assessing skeletal fragility and predicting risk of future fractures, and its role in osteoporosis treatment decisions.

This activity will address strategies for technologists upon how to deal with challenging patient anatomy, particularly in situations where automated analysis fails and suboptimal positioning on DXA scans.

This activity will describe the evidence behind optimal strategies in osteoporosis management, including optimal pharmacologic sequences and the role of combination therapy, as well as optimal treatment targets.

This activity was designed so attendees would receive an advanced overview of how to assess vertebral attenuation with reanalysis of previously acquired CTs that included the area of the lumbar spine (opportunistic CT).

This activity was designed to allow learners to understand enCORE’s advanced tools as well as identify confounding challenges. Attendees can listen to a cogent, clear, concise, well-referenced lecture after which they will understand some of the advanced applications of GE’s DXA software (enCORE).

This activity was designed to allow learners to understand new technologies for the assessment of bone strength. Attendees can listen to a cogent, clear, concise and well-referenced lecture after which they will understand BMD limitations and the future role of new technologies.
