This conference is targeted to radiologists who have acquired their first experiences and now want to refresh and improve their knowledge. This course consists of intensive lectures a nd especially interactive training in detail. Out of a total of more t han 14,000 cases selected over the past two decades, attendees will an alyze carefully selected and histologically proven cases under the gui dance of Dr. Werner Kaiser. By this reality training all aspects of di agnosis, differential diagnosis and pitfalls will be discussed.\n\nA h ands-on workstation and Biopsy Coils will be available.\n\nUpon comple tion of this program you should know:\n\n- Advantages of MR-Mammograph y (MRM)\n- Disadvanteges of MRM\n- Differentiation between benign and malignant lesions\n- Tumor angiogenesis\n- Tumor doubling time\n- Dete ctability threshold of MRM\n- DCIS in MRM\n- Chemotherapy in MRM\n- In -Flow-Phenomenon\n- Effect of menstruation on MRM\n- Effect of bleedin g\n- Effect of hormones\n- Differentiation between vessels and lesions \n- Definition of malignancy\n- Pathological requirements\n- Effect of field strength\n- Detection of motions\n- Clarification by phone\n- P reparation for MRM\n- Avoiding motion artifacts\n- Breast coil quality \n- Positioning\n- Detection of ferromagnetic implants\n- Optimized sc an protocol\n- Scan orientation\n- Optimized echo time\n- Detection of tuning parameters\n- Role of T2-weighted images\n- Effect of dosage\n - Normal enhancement\n- Security fat line\n- Lesion analysis according to shape, margins, internal architecture, septations, distribution, k inetic signal changes\n- Localization of a lesion\n- Differentiation o f vessels\n- Advantages and disadvantages of kinetics\n- Nipple enhanc ement\n- Loading time\n- Diagnostic pitfalls\n- Differentiation of fib roadenomas\n- Detection of oil cysts\n- Cardiac edema\n- Identificatio n of a \"cancer corner\"\n- Blooming sign\n- Hook sign\n- punched-out sign\n- T2-Sign\n- Edema signs\n- Vessel sign\n- Ecclipse sign\n- Wash -Out-Phenomenon\n- Effect of chemotherapy\n- False negative results\n- Differential diagnosis of unilateral oedema\n- Lymph nodes\n- Detecti on of scars\n- Detection of radiation effects\n- Differential diagnosi s of implants and implant ruptures\n- Description of lesions around im plants\n- Delineation of hormone effects\n- Differential diagnosis of hormone effects/ DCIS\n- Pitfalls in photographing\n- \"Interleaved me asurement\"\n- Read-out-effect\n- HF-artifacts\n- Complete definition of malignancy\n- Choice of \"region of interest\"\n- Zooming effect\n- Sensitivity and Specificity of MRM\n- Role of DCIS\n- Classification of DCIS\n- Multifocality of DCIS\n- Pattern of DCIS in MRM\n- Differen tial diagnosis of DCIS/hormone effect\n- Comparison of different MRM t echniques\n\nINSTRUCTORS:\nKaiser\n\nCME HOURS: 15\n\nLECTURE TOPICS:\ nMammography/Women's Imaging\n\nACTIVITIES: not listed\n\nFor more inf ormation visit https://community.radrounds.com/events/advanced-course- of-mr DTSTART:20090328T040000Z DTEND:20090330T035900Z CATEGORIES:advanced, course, mr, mammography LOCATION:Boston, MA 02111 WEBSITE:http://radlist.com/meeting.asp?meeting_id=4207 URL:http://radlist.com/meeting.asp?meeting_id=4207 CONTACT:617-912-1234 ORGANIZER:Medical Education Resources ATTACH;FMTTYPE="image/jpeg": ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="radRound s Radiology Events":https://community.radrounds.com/profile/radRoundsR adiologyEvents END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
