	To describe the radiologic manifestations of medical and surgical emergencies in the pregnant patient
	To demonstrate new advances in the diagnosis and treatment of stroke
	To delineate specific imaging findings in emergencies affecting oncologic patients
	To present the imaging manifestations of common urgent but nontraumatic abdominal conditions
	To compare and contrast various mechanisms of injury and reveal their findings in the cervical spine and in the peripheral skeleton
	To update the attendee on new developments in the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism
	To revisit the radiologic issues germane to the diagnosis of the battered child
