Midwinter Overview
The Midwinter Conference offers concurrent programs in Radiology, Radiation Oncology, and
Nuclear Medicine, providing participants with the opportunity to design an individualized program to
meet their unique educational needs and interests.
Shahram Bonyadlou, MD
The Radiology Conference will provide the clinician with a review of fundamentals and discussion of
practical approaches and state of the art updates regarding Thoracic, Abdominal and Oncologic
Imaging interpretation and intervention. Our goal is to present the knowledge and skills needed to
update and expand current clinical practice with the goal of improving patient outcomes and quality
of life through improved diagnostics. An array of imaging techniques will be included, with an
emphasis on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT) and Ultrasound.
Assistant Professor of Radiology
Keck School of Medicine of USC
The Radiation Oncology Conference will provide the clinician with a review of fundamentals and
Patrick M. Colletti, MD
state of the art updates regarding the rapidly evolving applications, technologies, methodologies
and delivery of radiation therapy in the treatment of Breast, CNS, Head and Neck, and Lung
cancers. The goal is to present the knowledge and skills necessary to remain current in order to
improve patient outcomes through improved treatment and management.

state of the art updates regarding the evolving technologies, strategies and therapy in nuclear
medicine. Focus areas include PET/MRI, Cardiac Imaging, and Therapy. A fourth session has
been planned to address current challenges in nuclear medicine including an unreliable supply of
radiopharmaceuticals paired with rising prices and non-payment. The goal is to present the
knowledge and skills necessary to update and expand current clinical practice in order to provide
the best possible care to nuclear medicine patients.
Midwinter Highlights
Keynote Presentations
Implications of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA)
for Patients, Radiology, and Radiation Oncology
Dr. Christopher M. Rose, Past President of the Southern California Radiation Oncology Society and
the American Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Radiation Oncology, will discuss how the
significant changes in healthcare delivery mechanisms that have and will continue to occur due to the
PPACA will change how radiologists and radiation oncologists must practice.
ACR Update
Dr. Howard B. Fleishon, Member of the ACR Board of Chancellors, will address emerging issues and
recent activities of the American College of Radiology, the leading national organization in
socioeconomic issues affecting careers in radiology and radiation oncology. Discussion will include
advocacy, economics, education, quality and safety, and research.
Self-Assessment CME - Self-Assessment Modules (SAM)
Self-Assessment questions and discussion will be incorporated into each of the three programs Radiology, Radiation Oncology, and Nuclear Medicine - so participants may evaluate their personal
knowledge and performance against current standards and advances outlined in the presentations.
LARS Education Committee is working with program faculty to complete the ABR SAM application
process. Details regarding sessions approved for SAM will be posted on LARS website
(www.larad.org) as confirmations become available. As of January 1, 2013, updated MOC Part 2
requirements call for 75 CME credits every 3 years, at least 25 of which must be self-assessment
activities (SA-CME, which includes SAMs). For more information visit www.theabr.org
Technical Exhibits & Networking
Make the most of the scheduled breaks in the educational sessions by visiting the technical exhibit
hall, which is intended to complement the educational program by providing a forum for professional
exchange of the latest, most accurate information available regarding the benefits, risks, and
appropriate use of the products, technologies, services and therapies available to radiology, radiation
oncology and nuclear medicine.
Refreshments breaks will be held in the exhibit providing an opportunity for informal networking with
colleagues and friends over continental breakfast or coffee.
