OVERVIEW

Basic Prostate Cancer MRI Fellowship is organized by Unilabs Academy and will be held from Oct 05 - 07, 2026.

Description:
Radiologists who would like to initiate on reporting prostate MRI will find this imaging course very appropriate. In 3 half days, the fellowship covers key topics related to MRI of prostate cancer and provides basic knowledge. MRI findings of the prostate and pelvis will be discussed with a lecture, followed by daily individual case reading with subsequent group discussions.

The programme includes an overview of the main indications to perform an MRI of the prostate: Diagnosis (PI-RADS), staging (local and systemic), and follow-up (post-treatment and active surveillance).

Each module starts with a lecture. After the lecture, you will be challenged with practicing on real anonymised key cases. After the individual case readings and group discussions there will be plenty of time for a ‘Questions and Answers’ session with Dr. Vilanova.

Unilabs Academy fellowships are held in a virtual classroom environment on Zoom. You are encouraged to engage in discussions making use of your camera and microphone to recreate the face-to-face experience. Online sessions are recorded so you can review on your own time following the training. In this small group environment among your peers, you are free to ask questions, make mistakes, and learn together with Dr. Kai Vilanova support.

Learning Objectives:

Learn how to use structured reporting scheme PI-RADS v2.1 (Prostate Imaging - Reporting and Data System version 2.1) and apply multiparametric MRI principles
Become familiar and feel confident with basic MRI of prostate cancer as encountered in daily practice
Discriminate common variants from pathology to avoid pitfalls
Learn to construct an adequate report through structured reporting

Programme will include:

Lectures on reading prostate MRI for diagnosis (PI-RADS), staging and follow-up (after treatment and active surveillance) of prostate cancer
Individual case reading and interpretation of the provided cases
Group case discussion of the selected cases
Plenty of time for Q&A with the radiologist mentor
Access to presentation slides, session recordings, and other course materials
Access to discussed cases before and after the fellowship
Your own personal dashboard and course materials on the Unilabs Academy platform

Level

Level II - General radiologist

Radiologists with little knowledge in prostate cancer MRI will benefit most from the fellowship
