| OVERVIEW |
| This two hour session will
cover the topic of abdominal pain in various patient
populations ranging from trauma patients to chronically ill
patients. Most of these patients are currently worked up
with CT with the substantial burden of radiation exposure.
The status quo as well as new cutting-edge technologies for
the body MR clinician will be presented to explore both the
current and future role of MR in the workup of this patient
population. |

| EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
|
Upon completion of this
case based session, participants should be able to:
- Describe the current role of MR in the workup of
patients with abdominal pain;
- Apply new body MR techniques in their practice
to shift patients with abdominal pain
from the CT suite to the MR suite; and
- Use multiparametric MRI for improved diagnosis
of abdominal diseases.
