Overview
This course discusses MRI characterization of incidental cystic lesions
in the kidneys and pancreas. A comprehensive review of the clinical
challenges and implications of assessing these lesions commonly seen in
clinical practice will be presented. This course will focus on the value
of MRI over other imaging modalities in characterizating cystic lesions.
The course will address cost-effective strategies for follow up of
pancreatic and renal cystic lesions with MRI to avoid ionizing radiation
exposure.
Target Audience
This course is aimed at radiologists, imaging scientists and MR
technologists who wish to learn about cystic lesions in the kidney and
pancreas and the use of MRI for characterization of these lesions.
Educational Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants should be able to:
- Demonstrate the utility of
MRI in the characterization and follow up of incidental cystic
lesions of the pancreas; and
- Illustrate the use of MRI to
characterize incidental cystic lesions in the kidneys.
