In-Person Event
Feb 13 - 15, 2017
Toronto, Ontario, CASpeakers
OVERVIEW
Advanced Imaging and Education Centre (AIEC) Virtual Colonography (VC) is organized by University of Toronto - Department of Medical Imaging and would be held during Feb 13 - 15, 2017 at Toronto General Hospital - Advanced Imaging Education Centre, Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
The target audience for this medical event basically for Radiologists, gastroenterologists, and CT technologists interested in conducting colorectal cancer screening with high quality VC. This CME Conference has been approved with a maximum of 23.0 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits. The course emphasis is on image interpretation with completion of at least 50 path proven examinations by the third day.
The program combines didactic presentations with significant hands-on experience in the setting of small group learning.You will learn to utilize specific 3D tools and recognize pitfalls that will result in reduction of both reading times and false positives. Other topics include effective patient preparation, colonic distension, extra colonic CT findings, and issues relating to setting up a screening program.
Objectives :
• Be able to implement the various components of a complete VC examination to acquire high quality examinations
• Effectively detect polyps
• Be aware of common pitfalls and problems associated withVC interpretation
• Have successfully completed the required number of cases as required for proficiency by the Canadian Association of Radiologists (CAR)
• Be aware of the role of CT colonography in colorectal screening
Topics :
• Rationale for colorectal screening
• Introduction to CT colonography
• How to perform a CT colonography
• Patient preparation
• Prep-less techniques
• VC interpretation
• Image interpretation and pitfalls
• Extra colonic findings
• Standardized reporting system
