The workshop will be live streamed in a Zoom Webinar format. The session times are CET (Central European Time).
This two-day intensive practical course will focus on the most common current indications for liver imaging – cirrhotic patients, oncological patients, patients at no risk with incidental findings and response to therapy of liver tumours.
The participants will be encouraged to participate in the interpretation of the cases via MCQs. There is plenty of time for Q&A during each session. The cases will range from intermediate to advanced complexity. The aim of the course is to provide participants with a large number and variety of cases with immediate feedback available from teaching faculty, in an on-line setting.
Target group
This course is directed to those radiologists with a good basic knowledge of cross-sectional imaging who want to improve their skills on liver imaging.
Aims
To provide participants with a large number and variety of cases with immediate feedback available from teaching faculty, in an informal and interactive setting via an online PACS solution
To reproduce the PACS work environment but with the benefit of case review analysis and availability of experts for questions.
To propose an alternative and innovative teaching/learning methods based on active involvement by participants.
Learning objectives/outcomes of the course
Interpret patient cases in DICOM format
Develop expertise in the diagnostic evaluation of a range of focal and diffuse liver diseases in cirrhotic patients, oncological patients and in patients at no risk with incidentally found liver lesions.
