COURSE DESCRIPTION AND OBJECTIVESThe society of Abdominal Radiology (sAR) was formed in 2012 as a result of a merger between the society of gastrointestinal Radiologists (sgR) and the society of uroradiology (suR). The Abdominal Radiology Course will remain the major educational endeavor of the sAR, bringing together outstanding educators for a program highlighting:

• Problem solving for common issues in abdominal and pelvic imaging with practical solutions• extensive small group workshop presentations allowing registrants to individualize the educational content • exposure to new and emerging technologies in the imaging diagnosis of abdominal and pelvic pathology

The course format utilizes didactic lectures, general interest presentations, panel discussions, technical displays and interactive workshops in a mix that optimizes the educational opportunities for registrants. The scientific Paper sessions of the society will be open to all members. numerous educational and scientific posters spanning all aspects of abdominal imaging will be available to all course participants for study throughout the meeting. designed primarily for radiologists in practice and in training, this course will also benefit all physicians who care for patients with gastrointestinal and genitourinary disease.

At the conclusion of the course, registrants should be able to:

1. Apply the most up-to-date and practical information for imaging diagnosis and intervention in common abdominal problems

2. Appropriately implement new and emerging techniques in abdominal CT, mR, us and PeT

3. successfully manage common problems encountered in performing everyday abdominal examinations

4. understand the newest topics and results in clinical research in abdominal radiology

CONTINUING MEDICAL EDUCATION

This Virtual Colonoscopy (CT Colonography) Hands-On Workstation Training is comprised of intensive and supervised review of at least 50 CTC cases, an initial demonstration of the normal colon, and an extensive review of the appearances of polyps and cancers with tips provided for problem-solving and analysis of pitfalls. The course will conclude with a testing module including 10 CTC cases. individual workstations will be provided for optimal learning. This Hands-on Training is designated for a maximum of 15 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. A certificate of attendance will be awarded upon completion. This training will be conducted on

monday, February 25 and Tuesday, February 26. There is also an introductory basic Training - buttonology session on sunday, February 24 for registrants to familiarize themselves with the workstations; two essential 30 minute lectures will follow this buttonology session. For those participants interested in extra practice time, an open session will also be held monday evening, February 25. The testing module will be held on Wednesday, February 27.*

This training course would not be possible without the support of GE Healthcare, Philips Healthcare, Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc., Viatronix, Inc., and Vital Images, Inc.

This Advanced Small Bowel Imaging Hands-On Workstation Training is designed to provide a comprehensive overview of CT and mR techniques for the evaluation of small bowel disorders. World leaders in small bowel imaging will present the clinical rationale for and benefits of imaging, exam techniques and CT/mR imaging findings for a variety of small bowel disorders. This course will be highlighted by interactive experiences using the participants’ own laptop computer.
