Overview
This 2 hour session will address clinical challenge associated with acquisition of pelvic MRI as well as the interpretation of the images.
Target Audience
This course is aimed at radiologists, imaging scientists and MR technologists who wish to review the state-of-art MRI protocols and indications for assessment of pelvic diseases.
Educational Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants should be able to:
-Summarize acquisition protocols and personalize this in the context of patient's prior conditions;
-Illustrate the interpretation challenges and put this into the context of histopathological findings;
-Address the difficult scenarios, including the post-treatment pelvis.

Rectal Cancer-Shifting Paradigms-Predicting Complete Pathologic Response & Facilitating Non-Operative Management
Marc Gollub
This lecture will illustrate and teach the important concepts regarding post treatment assessment of rectal cancer after chemo-radiotherapy. Limitations, a key evolving concept will be stressed. T2, DWI and DCE will be included. At least 2 suggested systems for post treatment evaluation will be illustrated with discussion of their relative merits: mrTRG grading system and DWI + endoscopy systems. In particular, the growing trend towards Watch and Wait, AKA, non-operative management or organ sparing approaches will be discussed.

MR Urography
Bobby Kalb
Recent advances in sequence design and image processing have allowed for the simultaneous acquisition of dynamic perfusion imaging data (necessary for modelling of quantitative renal function) and also high-quality anatomic images of the renal and urothelial system (necessary for tumor diagnostics). A streamlined protocol allows for a more comprehensive evaluation of patient with diseases of the renal and urothelial system, optimizing management decisions through non-invasive diagnostics.
