Abdominal & Pelvic Imaging: CT/MR/US
Course Outline and Faculty
Three half-day morning sessions, Wednesday through Friday. This course will help the radiologist determine the indications for the different imaging modalities used for the abdomen & pelvis, as well as indications for secondary imaging studies. This will be achieved by providing an updated review of state-of-the-art imaging methods and evidence-based practice in CT, MR and US as they pertain to the gastrointestinal and genitourinary systems. The ACR guidelines on managing incidental CT findings in the kidney, adrenal, liver and pancreas will be discussed as appropriate.
Optional 3-hour mini-course on Prostate MRI on Thursday afternoon (separate fee and registration). This mini-course will focus on protocols and technique, interpretation, biopsies, pointers & pitfalls, and will conclude with a case review.
