Course Overview
 

This 100-case, two-day course is designed to provide practicing radiologists with intense training in the interpretation of multiparametric prostate MRI (mpMRI) and the use of Prostate Imaging — Reporting and Data System version 2.1 (PI-RADS™ v2.1) for standardized communication of imaging findings.

Throughout this program, participants will develop their interpretative skills at individual workstations by review of prostate mpMRI cases with pathology correlation. A series of didactic lectures MR-guided prostate biopsy techniques will complement the training session with focus on imaging techniques optimization.

Program Objectives
 

At the conclusion of this course, participants will be able to:

• Apply the principles of PI-RADS v2.1 and the scoring system during the interpretation of mpMRI of the prostate

• Report imaging findings using the standardized format

• Optimize prostate imaging protocols using the mpMRI principles to achieve the best diagnostic performance

• Provide guidance for targeted biopsies of the prostate

• Develop multidisciplinary collaborations and establish a quality assurance program for prostate imaging

Course Overview
 

This three-day, intensive practical course on abdominal and pelvic MR image interpretation will focus on the most common current indications for abdominal and pelvic MR – imaging of the liver, pancreas, pelvis and the kidneys. It is aimed to help a range of radiologists, from the general radiology practitioner to the moderately advanced MRI expert.

In contrast to passive lectures, participants will be provided their own workstation from which actual patient abdominal MRI studies will be viewed. A formalized reporting structure will be used for the attendee to analyze their viewing of the findings. Additionally, these findings can be reviewed and discussed with the teaching faculty.

Program Objectives
 

At the conclusion of this course, participants will be able to:

1. Interpret at least 100 patient cases
2. List the protocol expertise for acquiring a comprehensive examination within a 20-minute scan time
3. Describe the rationale for the acquisition methods: which acquisition shows specific aspects of particular pathologies
4. Identify and develop expertise in the diagnostic evaluation of a range of liver tumors and diffuse liver disease, gall bladder and diseases of the bile ducts; pancreatic malignancies and diffuse pancreatic disease; renal malignancies; and abdominal vascular, retroperitoneal and peritoneal disease; and pathologies of male and female pelvis.

Course Overview

This three-day educational course is designed to provide the practicing radiologist an intensive hands-on experience in the technique and the interpretation of MR imaging of the knee, shoulder, ankle/ foot and hip. The course is focused toward the non-musculoskeletal-trained radiologist responsible for interpretation of these often complex examinations.

The attendee will have the opportunity to review and interpret over 100 musculoskeletal MR examinations under the supervision of expert faculty. Through participation in multiple scan interpretation sessions, including a detailed review of the key findings, each attendee will develop a higher level of expertise and confidence in evaluating MR of these various joints.

Program Objectives

At the conclusion of this conference, participants will be able to:

1. Identify the normal appearances of important anatomic structures on MR imaging of the knee, shoulder, ankle/foot and hip
2. Identify abnormalities involving the menisci, cruciate ligaments, collateral ligaments, extensor mechanism and osteochondral structures on MR imaging of the knee
3. Recognize important MR imaging features of rotator cuff tears, glenoid labral injuries and their clinical implications
4. Detect common abnormalities of frequently injured tendons, ligaments and osteochondral structures on MR imaging of the ankle/foot
5. Recognize important imaging features of avascular necrosis, labral tears, femoroacetabular impingement syndrome and traumatic injuries on MR of the hip
