ESHI Educational Course
Hybrid Imaging in Oncology
December 14-15, 2017 | Vienna/Austria
Course Information
This course is aimed at last-year residents, general radiologists, nuclear medicine physicians and oncologists who want to update their knowledge on state-of-the-art hybrid medical imaging of cancer, with a focus on the latest technological advances and clinical applications. No previous practical experience with the subject is required.
The expert faculty includes nuclear medicine physicians and radiologists, as well as physicists and radiopharmacists, who will provide a series of lectures describing imaging pathways for oncological diagnosis, follow-up and treatment response assessment.
Lectures will be followed by interactive workshops, presented jointly by faculty specialists.
Learning 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, including lymphoma, prostate cancer, gynaecological cancers, as well as brain tumors
- to appreciate the complementary roles of structural and functional/molecular imaging in cancer management
- to understand the importance of standardized protocols for hybrid imaging, and the clinical impact of structured reporting
- to understand how information derived from imaging guides patient selection for treatment and supports individualised treatment planning
