Description
The Essentials workshop series is designed specifically for Radiologists in Training and non-GI specialised Radiologists seeking a solid foundation in gastrointestinal imaging. Focused on Levels I–II, the series covers all the essential basics you need to know — from appropriate imaging modalities and protocols to interpretation of key imaging findings.
Led by experienced GI radiology fellows, each session offers practical tips & tricks, illustrative case reviews, and concise theoretical insights to enhance your clinical confidence. Whether you're looking to strengthen your day-to-day practice or preparing for the EDGAR diploma, this series provides a valuable learning platform.
This focused Upper GI Cancer course is designed to take you from foundational knowledge to practical confidence. Starting with the basics and building in complexity, each session blends key theory with real cases, covering:
- Imaging modalities and protocols
- Step-by-step interpretation techniques
- Practical tips & tricks
Cases include clinical background, guided walkthroughs, and clear take-home learning points — making this course ideal for radiologists aiming to strengthen their imaging upper GI cancer skills in a structured, practical way.
Learning objectives
- To understand the role of imaging in oesophageal and gastric cancer, including typical imaging findings and staging principles, and how imaging informs multidisciplinary decision-making and treatment planning
- To recognise imaging appearances before and after treatment, including post-neoadjuvant therapy changes, challenges in differentiating viable tumour from treatment effects, and the limitations of different imaging modalities
- To identify postoperative anatomy and disease outcomes, including expected postoperative appearances, early and late surgical complications, and imaging features of recurrent disease
Target group
Young radiologists, people who wish to prepare for EDGAR (Diploma) or wish to acquire a foundation-level training across abdominal subspecialties
