Description
AIMS
The aim of the workshop is to provide a comprehensive coverage of all the main liver pathologies that will be presented by means of an integrated multimodality approach. Imaging findings will be analysed on the basis of their pathological correlations.
The format of the workshop will include formal lectures that have been assigned to expert colleagues, able to thoroughly discuss each topic. Moreover, an interactive discussion on real clinical cases will be led - in additional “slots” - by the faculty members who will help to define the state-of-the-art in the diagnosis of liver diseases. A specific aim of the workshop is to provide practical suggestions on how to manage the diagnostic work-up of liver diseases in the daily practice.
TARGET GROUP
Radiologists, radiologists in training
Learning Objectives
- To describe the most relevant technological advances of different modalities and contrast media applied to liver imaging.
- To equip delegates with an improved understanding of segmental anatomy of the liver in order to share a standard radiological and surgical terminology.
- To discuss the main liver pathologies based on structured multi-modality orientated lectures and interactive case presentations.
- To understand the imaging features on the basis of pathological correlations.
- To give practical suggestions on the diagnostic work-up of liver diseases in the daily practice.
