Description
This Liver CT and MRI Fellowship offers a comprehensive overview of cross sectional imaging findings of common and uncommon liver diseases.
Participants will have the opportunity to expand their knowledge of the principles of MR imaging in the non- cirrhotic, cirrhotic and oncologic patient. The course is designed to provide a practical review of specific topics. Formal lectures will be presented, followed by a series of cases typically seen in clinical practice, simulating the reading room experience, to develop appropriate skills for the differential diagnosis of patients with hepatic diseases. Each day, attendees will be provided with approximately 20 cases to review independently, and then jointly to fine-tune their ability to recognize and characterize liver lesions.
There will be ample opportunity for interactive discussions. A rich diversity of cases/conditions will be discussed, including benign and malignant liver masses, vascular disorders of the liver, lesions beyond HCC in the cirrhotic liver, fat in the liver, use of hepatobiliary contrast agents, etc.
TMC Academy fellowships are held in a virtual classroom environment on Zoom. Participants are encouraged to engage in discussions making use of their camera and microphone in order to recreate the face-to-face experience.
In this small group environment among your peers, you are free to ask questions, make mistakes, and learn together with the support of the radiologist mentor.
This radiology course is organised by TMC Academy, an EACCME Trusted Provider.
