OVERVIEW

ONLINE Brain Tumours Imaging Fellowship is organized by TMC Academy and will be held from May 02 - 04, 2023.

Description:
In 3 short days, learn from an experienced Neuroradiologist and lecturer Dr. Cem Çalli who will present several lectures on the topic of gliomas. Following the lectures, participants will get the chance to look at real anonymised cases brought by Dr. Çalli and engage in group discussion of the cases.

Brain tumours are encountered commonly by radiologists who are dealing with General Radiology during their routine real life work up. Sometimes it is easy to establish the right diagnosis, but sometimes it is challenging.

This course will cover almost all tumours inside the skull and especially intends to give Radiologists the right tools to make the differential and correct diagnosis of a tumour. Follow-up imaging in glial tumours may also be troublesome in many cases and this topic will be discussed in all aspects to build a guide for all attendees when reporting the follow-up of brain tumour cases.

The advantages of each imaging technique in the differential diagnosis of brain tumours will be presented in detail. The case discussions will help attendees to understand how to approach brain tumour cases and will improve their skills for the future when reporting real –life daily cases. The case discussions will include some common and uncommon cases, but each one of them will have a message for the attendees in order to help them improve their experience on brain tumour imaging.

At the completion of the course each attendee will for sure feel more confident in reporting brain tumours.

The fellow will be provided with the reporting templates and referring questionnaire, developed by the mentor. Up-to-date international recommendations, protocols, patient information and some newest, practical scientific articles would also be shared with the participants.

Learning objectives:

To become familiar with imaging findings of posterior fossa and supratentorial tumours
To be able to make the differential diagnosis in brain tumours
To understand the advantages of different kinds of imaging modalities in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of brain tumours.
To identify the different types of changes in brain tumour patients after postoperative / posttreatment follow-up

Programme will include:

Lectures on imaging techniques in different kinds of brain tumours
Individual practice interpretation and reading provided cases.
Group case discussion
Question and answer session with specialised radiologist mentor
Lifetime access to presentation slides, session recordings, and other course materials

Level:
Level II - General radiologist
