Course Description And Objectives:
Objectives
- Technical advances in liver imaging have been observed for ultrasound, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
- Quantitative liver imaging biomarkers are promising to measure disease severity and reduce interoperator variability.
- Quantitative liver imaging biomarkers have the potential to be increasingly adopted in clinical practice.
- Abbreviated MRI protocols will help fulfill an increasing number of examination requests.
Course Description
Over the past two decades, the epidemiology of chronic liver disease has changed with an increase in the prevalence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease in parallel to the advent of curative treatments for hepatitis C. Recent developments provided new tools for diagnosis and monitoring of liver diseases based on ultrasound (US), computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), as applied for assessing steatosis, fibrosis, and focal lesions.
