ONLINE Pelvic Floor Imaging Fellowship (Jun, 2024)
hosted byTMC Academy
ONLINE Pelvic Floor Imaging Fellowship is organized by TMC Academy and will be held from Jun 03 - 05, 2024.
Description:
Pelvic Floor Dysfunction is a complex set of conditions. Imaging can help identify and quantify the multicompartment involvement that may not always be apparent on physical examination.
Imaging techniques vary considerably between centres, and there is need for more standardized utilization, interpretation, and reporting of imaging for the pelvic floor as per recently published recommendations from ESUR and ESGAR Pelvic Floor Working Group*
Upon completing this fellowship, participants will be able to develop, implement, and adequately report pelvic floor imaging protocols tailored to the specific needs of their referring physicians and patients. The lectures will systematically demonstrate the various types of pelvic floor dysfunction via a combination of schematics, real-time cine-loops of dynamic and static images, as well as complete cases for review by the participants.
Each module starts with a lecture. After the lecture you will be challenged with practicing on real anonymised key cases. After and during the individual case readings there will be plenty of time for group discussion and Q&A with the mentor.
Learning objectives:
- Learn comprehensive MR technique for evaluation of the pelvic floor including appropriate sequences, utility of rectal contrast and defecation phase, appropriate technologist education, and patient coaching
- Review anatomy of the pelvic floor including levator anatomy, and landmarks used in functional evaluation
- Learn functional imaging of the pelvic floor including appropriate measurement and grading of prolapse in the anterior, middle, and posterior compartments as well as assessment of anorectal and defecatory dysfunction
- Learn appropriate reporting of MR defecography – what the referring physicians want to know
Programme will include:
- Various lectures
- Individual case reading and interpretation on provided cases
- Group case discussion of the selected cases
- Plenty of time for Q&A with the radiologist mentor
- Access to presentation slides, session recordings, and other course materials
- Access to discussed cases prior to and after the fellowship
- Your own personal dashboard and course materials on TMCA online platform
- Certificate of attendance
Level:
Level II - General radiologist
Although the course is geared toward general radiologists, all radiologists may attend and benefit from this training which will start with the basic essential anatomical and technical information and will upgrade the information to expert level.
