This prostate MRI course is a unique combination of hands-on reporting with 20 real-life prostate MRI cases, accompanied by focused self-study and 6 prostate MRI lectures that will help you to improve your prostate MRI diagnostic skills. This medical radiology course covers practical aspects of MRI and pathology correlation and also introduces standardization of prostate tumour reporting.
Description
This radiology CME course is aimed mainly, but not exclusively at radiologists and urologists wishing to be trained on how to accurately protocol and interpret prostate MRI for cancer diagnosis. The programme is focused on the practical aspects of MRI staging of prostate cancer and how to follow and optimise imaging strategies to improve patient surveillance.
This interactive course will give you direct feedback on all your reported cases including case statistics and annotated image solutions.
