Improving Time to Diagnosis of Non-Cystic Fibrosis Bronchiectasis: The Importance of the Radiologist in Fulfilling Unmet Needs of Patients
Improving Time to Diagnosis of Non-Cystic Fibrosis Bronchiectasis: The Importance of the Radiologist in Fulfilling Unmet Needs of Patients is organized by PVI, PeerView Institute for Medical Education.
Activity Release Date: April 17, 2023
Activity Expiration Date: May 16, 2024.
Activity Description:
In this activity, based on a recent live symposium at the American Roentgen Ray Society 2023 Annual Meeting, a radiologist and pulmonologist explain the importance of early diagnosis in non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (NCFBE) and explore the intricacies of CT imaging interpretation as a tool for optimizing care for bronchiectasis. These experts also share evolving insights into the pathophysiology of bronchiectasis that have led to the development of novel and emerging therapies, in particular DPP-1 inhibitors, to address underlying inflammation associated with the disease. See if you are up to date on the latest diagnosis, treatment, and management innovations for your patients with NCFBE and receive CME/MOC credit today!
Educational Objectives:
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to:
• Describe the disease burden of non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (NCFBE) as a chronic progressive condition and the importance of imaging for accurate diagnosis
• Recognize CT features of NCFBE to facilitate diagnosis and allow for intervention
• Explain how recent insights into the underlying mechanisms of NCFBE might address unmet treatment needs for patients with NCFBE.
