This course will provide a practical review of the fundamentals and advances in the MR imaging diagnosis of anatomic variants and common medical and surgical conditions, as they involve the abdomen and pelvis. A series of cases commonly seen in clinical practice has been assembled to illustrate the "pearls" in diagnosis, and the "perils" of failing to recognize important MR imaging findings in a variety of clinical situations. There will be significant time for questions and answers and audience interaction.
OBJECTIVE At the end of this course, participants will:
- Expand their knowledge in the clinical application of MR imaging to diseases involving the abdomen and pelvis.
- Improve their ability to recognize the key MR imaging features for accurate diagnosis of diseases involving the abdomen and pelvis.
- Understand how to better utilize MR and CT imaging resources.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND Radiology: practicing community and academic radiologists, residents and fellows with interest in abdominal and pelvic imaging
Other specialties: clinical physicians in surgery, gastroenterology, hepatology, urology, gynecology with interest in abdominal and pelvic MR imaging
