OVERVIEW

ONLINE Rectal Cancer MRI Fellowship is organized by TMC Academy and will be held from Nov 20 - 22, 2024.

Description:
This abdominal imaging fellowship will take participants through staging and restaging rectal cancer on MRI. Following a series of lectures followed by in case readings and discussions, Dr. Stephanie Nougaret will share her vast knowledge on rectal cancer staging and restaging after neoadjuvant treatment.

Radiologists (to-be) who would like to become more confident on staging/restaging rectal cancer on MRI will find this abdominal imaging fellowship useful. This programme of 3 afternoons provides in-depth knowledge in the value of MRI during the management of rectal cancer.

Radiologists (to-be) will learn how to interpret staging and restaging MR images and deal with difficulties by evaluating numerous cases. After attending this course, the participants will not only be able to implement high-quality MR protocol in their own center but also will be able accurately interpret MR images both before and after neoadjuvant treatment.

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 there will be an additional lecture followed by a ‘Questions and Answers’ session.

Participants will also benefit from using Dr. Nougaret's Rectal Cancer Staging Template which is also a take-home tool.

Learning objectives:

Upgrade your knowledge by immersion in a learning environment without distraction of daily practice to read rectal cancer MRI

Learn to construct an adequate report through structured reporting

Programme will include:

Lectures on reading rectal cancer MRI for staging and assessing tumor response with quiz cases
Individual case reading and interpretation on provided cases
