• The learning objectives for this course are to summarize the advantages of CT/MRI LI-RADS implementation and interpret current data supporting LI-RADS v2018 and summarize gaps in knowledge of LI-RADS v2018.
The learning objectives for this course are to outline the current approach to staging pancreatic cancer, apply standardized terminology in reporting vascular involvement and assess pancreas cancer response to neoadjuvant therapy.
The learning objectives for this course are to associate the equal risk of developing gallbladder cancer in patients with polyps and those without polyps, recognize that an incidentally detected ball-on-the-wall gallbladder polyp = 9 mm seen on ultrasound is virtually never cancer, and distinguish 3 types of gallbladder polyp morphologies that may help risk stratify polyps utilized by the SRU Consensus Conference Guideline.
The learning objectives for this course are to explain the principles, technique and technology of Dual energy CT, apply the clinical applications of Dual energy CT in hepato-biliary pancreatic system and discuss the pitfalls and challenges of Dual energy CT.
The learning objectives for this course are to evaluate strengths and weaknesses of different contrast agents for liver MRI, assess the utility of including different sequences in liver MRI and discuss the balance between speed and sensitivity when designing different liver MRI protocols.
The learning objectives are to recognize and describe biliary and vascular involvement of perihilar cholangiocarcinoma, understand what is necessary for the surgeon to know in a structured report of perihilar cholangiocarcinoma, and understand how to differentiate mucin producing hepatobiliary neoplasms from other cystic liver lesions
The learning objectives for this course are to differentiate key standardized definitions and reporting of MRI/MRCP features of primary sclerosing cholangitis, explain how standardized reporting reduces variability and assists in longitudinal assessment, and recognize that standardized definitions facilitate assessment of severity of disease and detection of perihilar cholangiocarcinoma.
The learning objectives for this course are to demonstrate the utility of in- and opposed-phase imaging in abdominal MRI, compare benign and malignant pancreatobiliary pathologies and examine the pitfalls of various contrast agents in liver imaging.
