- stimulating (interactive, challenging cases, immediate feedback); and
- comprehensive (covering a full range of abdominal and pelvic imaging topics).
Learning outcomes
By the end of the course, the attendee will have:
- a comprehensive understanding of best practice in advanced abdominal pelvic MRI interpretation and reporting;
- improved body MRI interpretation and reporting skills;
- greater confidence in his/her advanced practice; and
- identified skills and knowledge gaps, if any, relevant to his/her practice, and clear ways by which these can be addressed.
Course highlights
- Faculty of practicing consultant radiologists, experts in their fields, with extensive experience in advancing the abdominal and pelvic MRI skills of peers nationally and internationally.
- No didactic lectures – practical course, just workstation based cases and teaching pearls.
- Comprehensive – covering a full range of abdominal and pelvic imaging topics.
- True peer interaction/learning – 2 attendees per iMac workstation and a limited number of delegates
- Stimulating, interactive, challenging cases, and very importantly, immediate feedback with around 100 cases to interpret and report
