The learning objectives for this course are to identify ways in which pediatric tumor classifications have evolved, understand how advanced imaging techniques can aid in diagnosis of pediatric tumors and treatment planning, and evaluate current advances in imaging techniques and opportunities for future research.
Joanne M. Rispoli, MD
12:30 PM — 1:00 PM
The learning objectives for this course are to describe challenges in interpreting follow-up imaging in brain tumor patients, understand the value of applying a structured approach to brain tumor interpretation and reporting, describe imaging developments that may impact future brain tumor care, and apply structured principles in brain tumor evaluation and care on practical real-world cases.
Brent D. Weinberg, MD
1:00 PM — 1:30 PM
The learning objectives for this course are to understand role of advanced imaging techniques such as DTI and DWI in characterizing peripheral nerve and spinal cord tumors, understand the role of MR Neurography in diagnosing peripheral nerve neoplasms, and review indications for MR Neurography in the setting of a suspected peripheral nerve tumor.
Vinil N. Shah, MD
1:30 PM — 2:00 PM
The learning objectives for this course are to Identify inherent challenges and limitations to quality advanced MR imaging in the head and neck region, and some current available solutions, understand the differences between existing MR diffusion and perfusion techniques in the head and neck region, and how these technical differences affect their optimal utilization, and describe current clinical as well as research applications of MR diffusion and perfusion techniques to head and neck tumor imaging
Xin Cynthia Wu, MD

Question and Answer Session
2:30 PM — 2:45 PM
Break
2:45 PM — 3:15 PM
The learning objectives for this course are to correctly localize an intra-articular abnormality and understand the significant impact this location has on an appropriate differential diagnosis, review common intra-articular pathologies and their imaging appearance, and utilize this information to confidently evaluate an intra-articular lesion and create a differential diagnosis to guide patient management.
Kelby Brett Napier, MD, PhD
3:15 PM — 3:45 PM
The learning objectives for this course are to understand the fundamental principles and developments in soft tissue tumor imaging in the musculoskeletal system, to apply these imaging principles to MSK practice within a team-based medical and orthopedic oncologic approach, and to identify and analyze situations where techniques could be optimized and evaluate for pitfalls.
Alexander Merkle, MD
3:45 PM — 4:15 PM
The learning objectives for this course are to gain a comprehensive understanding of the fundamental physics principles of Susceptibility Imaging (SWI), Contrast-enhanced Susceptibility Imaging (CE-SWI), and SWI-PHA Susceptibility phase imaging and how this knowledge can be practically applied in the field of MSK Oncology; to familiarize oneself with the most common clinical applications of SWI and CE-SWI in MSK Oncology; and to identify the use of SWI and CE-SWI in tumor treatment response, including soft-tissue sarcoma and desmoid tumors.
Raul Valenzuela, MD
4:15 PM — 4:45 PM
The learning objectives of this course include understanding the utility of DWI in characterizing indeterminate soft tissue tumors, highlighting the importance of functional sequences such as DWI in assessing tumor recurrence, and explaining the roles of localized and whole-body MRI in detecting and characterizing bone lesions.
Laura Marie Fayad, MD
4:45 PM — 5:15 PM
