INTRODUCTION
ESGAR is pleased to support GE Healthcare to provide hands-on workshops on CT colonography. ESGAR and GE Healthcare aim at promoting CTC among abdominal radiologists not familiar with this technique. The “Getting start with CTC” course teaches technical basics (including full bowel preparation, principles of faecal/fluid tagging, bowel distension) and modern approaches to image reading and reporting.
The workshops will be lead by highly experienced radiologists (from the ESGAR CTC Faculty) in an interactive small group format with plenty of opportunity for hands on experience on workstations.
