GALEN ADVANCED Course Education in partnership
Course information The course is aimed at senior residents, board-certified radiologists and fellows, as well as practising radiologists interested in recent advances on CT imaging. It is designed as an intense, one and a half day course and addresses current advances, applied innovations and practices in CT imaging of the whole body. The expert faculty comprises excellent international teachers in the field. This course gives the unique opportunity to evaluate the latest technological and imaging updates for state-of-the-art advanced CT imaging in radiology. The combination of didactic lectures with interactive workshops, will give the attendees the opportunity of an educative experience and an exchange possibility with the faculty. Learning objectives to learn about current CT scanner technology, scanning options, dose reduction techniques and iterative reconstruction to enhance knowledge on clinical applications of dual energy CT and subtraction imaging techniques to learn about CT perfusion techniques of the whole body, as well as in neuroimaging to get informed about CT imaging updates and their implications in chest, cardiac, musculoskeletal, abdominal and vascular diseases
