Virtual CT in Abdominal Imaging Workshop

Virtual CT in Abdominal Imaging Workshop is organized by European Society of Gastrointestinal and Abdominal Radiology (ESGAR) and will be held from Dec 15 - 16, 2022.

Description:
The refined technical developments of CT require improved knowledge from radiologists and technologists to fully exploit the CT scanners’ potential. The protocols of state-of-the-art CT scanners, therefore, need to be frequently optimized to improve patient safety and care. The aim of the workshop is to discuss important aspects of abdominal CT imaging including radiation safety, protocol optimization, contrast media application, multi-energy CT as well as reporting of abdominal CT studies. The format will include formal lectures, interactive case-based discussions, and Q & A sessions.

Objectives Topics:
• To review the most important developments of CT in the last decade
• To understand the radiation risk associated with abdominal CT
• To learn how to apply dose reduction techniques for abdominal CT
• To learn how to optimize contrast media application for abdominal CT
• To discuss CT protocol optimization for CT imaging of the liver, pancreas, and bowel
• To review the basics concepts of tumor response assessment
• To be aware of the pros and cons of using standardized reporting in abdominal imaging
• To review the technological background of multi-energy CT and its application in abdominal imaging

Additional Details Will Be Posted as Soon as Information is Available.
