A Guide to Bowel Imaging
This course covers varied aspects of bowel imaging which will give the participant a comprehensive overview of different bowel pathologies. It covers imaging of the bowel in the emergency room, bowel ischemia, Crohn disease, bowel neoplasms, postoperative imaging, CT colonography, and role of molecular imaging in bowel pathologies. All modalities including fluoroscopy, CT, MR, and molecular imaging are discussed. After attending this course, the participant should feel comfortable in diagnosing and interpreting varied bowel pathologies on different modalities.
Target Audience:
This course is intended for radiologists at all training levels with an interest in gastrointestinal imaging.
Goals and Objectives:
After completing the material in this article, the learner should be able to:
