Presentation

Small Hall

Synopsis: Imaging of renal tumors: This lecture will cover how to optimize techniques for the detection and diagnosis of renal tumors, both benign and malignant. The lecture focuses on MRI and CT techniques.
Kidney tumor ablation and imaging follow-up: This lecture will describe and compare the current thermal ablation techniques with their benefits and limitations and expected results. Techniques and scheduling of follow-up imaging and findings of tumor recurrence will be illustrated and described.
CT urography for urothelial tumor detection: This lecture will describe current options for CT urography and how to optimize techniques for detection of malignancies while keeping radiation exposure low. Findings of benign and malignant urinary tract tumors will be thoroughly demonstrated.

This agenda item is presented in the following session: PCS1-1 Abdominal Radiology - 1st Set
