MEETING DESCRIPTION:
Who Should Attend:
This course is designed for urologists, radiologists, radiation oncologists and sonographers.

Program Description:
This one-day program is a combined effort of the faculties of Urology, Radiology and Radiation Therapy. It provides an overview of established and recently developed approaches to ultrasound of the prostate with a special emphasis on endorectal scanning.

The course incorporates a variety of clinical perspectives to complement the basic information on physics, anatomy and pathology of the prostate gland. Our curriculum also covers issues of therapy and recent advances in technology that are changing the landscape of prostate diagnosis and treatment.

The course content is frequently updated as new standards and procedures develop in this fast-paced field. In recent courses, there has been a special lecture devoted to advanced techniques for detection of prostate cancer including contrast-enhanced imaging and elastography.

In addition to the didactic component, this program offers an optional practical hands-on experience, with live models, phantoms and a variety of instruments. Each participant, in the optional hands-on practicum, will have the opportunity to perform endorectal scanning of the prostate.
