ASKLEPIOS Course on Introduction to Hybrid Imaging in Oncology 2017

ASKLEPIOS Course on Introduction to Hybrid Imaging in Oncology is organized by European School of Radiology (ESOR) and would be held during Aug 31 - Sep 1, 2017 at Messe Wien Exhibition Congress Center, Vienna, Wien, Austria. The target audience for this medical event is basically for Oncoligsts. This cme conference has been approved with maximum of 9 European CME credits.

This course is aimed at final-year residents, general radiologists, nuclear medicine physicians and oncologists who want to update their knowledge on new applications and state-of-the-art hybrid medical imaging of cancer. No previous practical experience of the subject is required. The expert faculty comprises nuclear medicine physicians and radiologists who will provide a series of lectures describing optimal imaging pathways for oncological diagnosis, follow-up and response assessment. Lectures will be followed by interactive workshops, presented jointly by faculty specialists.

Objectives:

• to learn the principles of hybrid medical imaging
• to learn the key clinical questions at different points in the patient’s journey
• to understand the indications, limitations and comparative merits of each part in hybrid medical imaging in a wide range of oncologic conditions and how it relates to other modalities
• to appreciate the complementary roles of structural and functional/molecular imaging in cancer management
• to understand hybrid medical imaging pathways for a range of different tumour types including non-small cell lung cancer, lymphoma, head and neck, prostate and gynaecological cancer
• to understand how information derived from imaging guides patient selection for treatment and supports individualised treatment planning.
