Vertebral Fracture Assessment CourseAs the world leader in bone densitometry certification, the International Society for Clinical Densitometry (ISCD), provides comprehensive educational courses in bone densitometry and offers certification for those who perform DXA scans and those who interpret the results.
The ISCD Vertebral Fracture Assessment (VFA) Course is an advanced densitometry course that provides an overview of VFA technology. This new technology offers a significant advance in the diagnosis and management of patients at risk for osteoporotic fractures by allowing clinicians to identify and treat those who would not be recognized using a bone density test alone. This half-day course is open to clinicians, technologists, scientists, researchers, and healthcare providers who wish to learn more about VFA and its use. Course Objectives After attending the course, participants will be better prepared to:
Course Lectures 1. Introduction to Vertebral Fracture Assessment (VFA) 2. Technical Aspects of VFA Imaging 3. VFA Examples 4. Principles of Reporting VFA 5. Faculty Discussion Panel CME Credit Designation Accreditation Statement CE Credit Qualification Course Prerequisites It recommended, but not required, that registrants attend the ISCD Bone Densitometry Course (Clinician or Technologist) prior to attending the VFA course. |
