4th Pancreas Workshop

The aim of the workshop is to provide a comprehensive coverage of all the main pancreatic pathologies that will be presented by means of an integrated multimodality approach. A set of lectures on imaging modalities will explain the most up-to-date techniques and protocols in the imaging of the pancreas. The format of the workshop will include formal lectures assigned to expert colleagues. Moreover, an interactive discussion on real clinical cases will be led — in additional “slots” — by the faculty members who will help to define the state-of-the-art in the diagnosis of pancreatic diseases as well as how to manage the diagnostic work-up of pancreatic diseases in the daily practice.

Programme Objectives

To provide state-of-the-art imaging protocols for US, CEUS, MDCT and MRITo detail the most relevant clinical questions that radiologists need to know when assessing patients with inflammatory pancreatic diseases

To review imaging features of inflammatory pancreatic diseases and how to use imaging modalities appropriately
To detail the most relevant pathology findings that may help understand imaging signs of malignancy in solid and cystic tumours
To review imaging features and pitfalls in interpretation of pancreatic adenocarcinoma and to understand the relative role of imaging modalities available for staging
To describe radiological features of tumour recurrence including common pitfalls and to learn which modern imaging techniques are most useful for follow-up of pancreatic adenocarcinoma
