Description

This module is dedicated to the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant focal liver lesions in the otherwise healthy liver. This module will include CT and MR imaging scans of focal liver lesions. CT and MR images will be used for teaching purposes to describe the most typical imaging findings in focal liver lesions in the healthy liver. The focal liver lesion training will help participants to describe the main imaging features of the most common benign focal liver lesions in the healthy liver.


Learning objectives

  • To describe the main imaging features of the most common benign focal liver lesions in the healthy liver
  • To improve the diagnostic skills in differential diagnosis of malignant focal liver lesion by MRI and CT in the otherwise healthy liver
  • To differentiate between benign and malignant focal liver lesions in otherwise healthy liver

Level

Level II - General radiologist
