Wednesday Parallel 3 Live Q&A

Wednesday, 12 August 2020, 13:45 - 14:30 UTC

Moderators: Tom Scheenen

Skill Level: Basic to Advanced

Session Number: Tu-01

Overview
This course will provide a comprehensive overiew of imaging of in situ prostate cancer:
- Current state of the Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data Systems (PI-RADS) v2.1.
- Potential pitfalls in prostate imaging, and where PI-RADS falls short.
- Imaging for treatment planning and response in radiation therapy.
- Quantitative and functional techniques that will revolutionize prostate imaging.

Target Audience
Residents, clinical fellows, practicing radiologists, and scientists involved in cancer imaging.

Educational Objectives
As a result of attending this course, participants should be able to:
- Develop protocols for multiparametric prostate MRI;
- Recognize features that define cancer;
- Report findings on prostate MRI using standard reporting templates;
- Discriminate suspicious features from those that represent benign findings or treated disease;
- Evaluate treatment response using anatomic and functional parameters on prostate MRI;
- Plan radiation treatment in conjunction with radiation oncologists; and
- Integrate new techniques with conventional multi parametric prostate MRI for improved cancer characterization.

		Imaging of Prostate Cancer for Radiation Treatment Planning & Follow-Up Nandita deSouza Watch the Video Localised prostate cancer is treated with prostatectomy, external beam radiotherapy with or without androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), brachytherapy and in selected cases, active surveillance. Because of its superior soft-tissue contrast, MRI plays an important role not only in staging disease, but in planning radiation-based treatment and in assessing recurrence following treatment.
