View learning objectives under main course title.

The price of purchasing and maintaining the latest imaging systems is on the order of millions; tight budgets in health care necessitate the ability to make smart purchases. This work identifies important considerations when purchasing an advanced imaging system, specifically in the context of dual energy and multi-modality volumetric imaging. The roles of imaging stakeholders are examined including: administrators, radiologists, technologists, medical physicists, IT specialists, clinical engineers, and vendors. A general overview of the strengths and weaknesses of volumetric commercially available imaging systems is also provided. Learning Objectives • Identify the needs of the imaging cohort • Evaluate prospective systems for purchase
