3rd Global Webinar Conference - Updates in Imaging and Management of Liver & Colonic Carcinoma

3rd Global Webinar Conference - Updates in Imaging and Management of Liver & Colonic Carcinoma is organized by Global Futuristic Management Services and will be held on Oct 10, 2020. This Conference has been approved for a maximum of 5 CME Credits.

Time: 8.00am - 1.00pm (United Kingdom) / 3.00pm - 8.00pm (Malaysia/Singapore).

Description:
This webinar aims to present different imaging modalities and investigations used in abdominal radiology, discussing in detail which imaging modality to use and when, and how to optimise the imaging pathway to achieve the best results. It would be of interest to many General Practitioners, Gastroenterologists, Surgeons, Physicians and all healthcare professionals who deal with patients presenting with symptoms and diseases related to the abdominal organs.

The gastrointestinal tract is one of the most diffcult systems in the human body to image, due to its length, complex structure and function, and inaccessibility for clinical examination. There are various radiological investigations available to choose from, to investigate patients with abdominal complaints, but which one is the best one and should be offered as the firrst choice to our patients?

Learning outcomes include new imaging pathways and current international recommendations, and incorporate the most recent world-wide research and state-of-art diagnostic techniques. New MRI protocols and techniques will be also presented, together with advances in interventional procedures and treatment.

Professor Mark Callaway, who will be speaking alongside, is a Consultant Abdominal Radiologist in the United Kingdom with a special interest in diagnostic and interventional abdominal radiology of the liver and pancreas. He has developed many techniques and was awarded the Kemp Harper prize for the best paper on abdominal imaging by Royal College of Radiologists and the Barclay prize by the British Journal of Radiology for his contributions in the area.

Together, we aim to give participants an inside and deep knowledge of new Ultrasound and MRI techniques, explaining which are the most specic and sensitive in GI diagnosis, including liver elastography, contrast ultrasound, new MRI sequences and hepatic specific MRI contrast.

This webinar will concentrate on the liver and large bowel pathology, as one of the most common sites of abdominal complains and disease, with a signicant and continuous increase in number of hepatic and colonic malignancies. 

Lectures will cover a wide range of liver and large bowel cancers, and include practical advice on initial diagnosis and staging process, discussing the most relevant features determining the choice of treatment offered to each individual patient. The various treatment options will be presented to make participants aware of new developments and progress in the eld of interventional radiology, to guide their discussions with patients and referrals to relevant clinical specialists.

It will also include a wide spectrum of benign and pre-malignant conditions, with special recommendations of follow-up investigations when patients present with conditions predisposing them to develop gastrointestinal cancer, a grading system for liver cirrhosis and the most relevant management of patients at the high risk of malignant disease.
