Description
Radiologists who would like to initiate on reporting prostate MRI will find this imaging course very appropriate. In 3 half days, the fellowship covers key topics related to MRI of prostate cancer and provides basic knowledge. MRI findings of the prostate and pelvis will be discussed with a lecture, followed by daily individual case reading with subsequent group discussions.
The programme includes an overview of the main indications to perform an MRI of the prostate: Diagnosis (PI-RADS), staging (local and systemic), and follow-up (post-treatment and active surveillance).
Each module starts with a lecture. After the lecture, you will be challenged with practicing on real anonymised key cases. After the individual case readings and group discussions there will be plenty of time for a ‘Questions and Answers’ session with Dr. Vilanova.
TMC Academy fellowships are held in a virtual classroom environment on Zoom. You are encouraged to engage in discussions making use of your camera and microphone to recreate the face-to-face experience. Online sessions are recorded so you can review on your own time following the training. In this small group environment among your peers, you are free to ask questions, make mistakes, and learn together with Dr. Kai Vilanova support.
This radiology course is organised by TMC Academy, an EACCME Trusted Provider.
