Weekday Course

ORGANIZERS: Scott Reeder, Nandita DeSouza, Steven Sourbron

Thursday, 12 May 2022

ICC Capital Suite 8-9

09:15 - 11:15

Moderators:
Anatomy & Physiology: Kristin Porter
Diseases & Clinical Dilemmas: Sudhakar Venkatesh

Skill Level: Basic

Session Number: Th-01

Session Number: Th-01

Overview
This session provides an overview of the anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology of the liver, bile ducts, and pancreas, and identifies important gaps in the imaging of these vitally important organs. Taught by physicians, this course is aimed at scientists and engineers interested in the development of new technologies for abdominal imaging but are lacking the necessary clinical or biological background to guide their research.

Target Audience
Students, scientists, and engineers interested in the anatomy, physiology, and basic pathophysiology of the liver, bile ducts, and pancreas.

Educational Objectives
As a result of attending this course, participants should be able to:
- Describe the relevant anatomy of the liver, bile ducts, and pancreas;
- Describe the relevant physiological function of the liver, bile ducts, and pancreas;
- Describe important disease processes of the liver, bile ducts, and pancreas; and
- Identify major unmet needs for new imaging methods in the liver, bile ducts, and pancreas.

	Anatomy & Physiology
09:15		Anatomy & Physiology of the Liver & Bile Ducts: What MRI Physicists Need to Know View the Presentation Maria Antoinetta Bali
09:45		Anatomy & Physiology of the Pancreas: What MRI Physicists Need to Know View the Presentation Kristin Porter MRI allows for noninvasive evaluation of the pancreatic parenchyma, pancreatic ducts, exocrine function, adjacent soft tissues, and vascular structures in a single examination. This presentation reviews the anatomy, physiology, and MR imaging of the pancreas that MRI Physicists need to know. At its conclusion, participants should be able to: Understand the basic embryology of the pancreas. Describe the normal anatomy and relational landmarks of the pancreas. Name the exocrine and endocrine functions of the pancreas. Name the congenital anomalies of the pancreas. Detail the components of a pancreatic MRI protocol. Recognize challenges in MR imaging of the pancreas.
	Diseases & Clinical Dilemmas
10:15		Diseases of the Liver from Metabolic Disease to Cancer: What Radiologists Care About & Wish They Could Do View the Presentation Manuela Franca MR imaging plays an invaluable role for the non-invasive assessment of diffuse liver diseases and for detecting and characterizing focal liver lesions, frequently avoiding liver biopsies. Diffuse liver diseases may result from metabolic, alcoholic, viral, toxic, or genetic disorders. In these patients, quantification of hepatic fat, iron and fibrosis is crucial for the diagnosis, treatment monitoring and follow-up. The end-stage of diffuse liver diseases is liver cirrhosis, which can be diagnosed by MR imaging. On the other hand, MR imaging is the cornerstone for the characterization of benign and malignant focal liver lesions, being crucial for the optimal patient management.
