ASKLEPIOS Course on Hepato-Bilio-Pancreatic Imaging Biomarkers
This course aims to familiarise fourth and fifth year radiology residents and board-certified radiologists with cutting-edge clinical and quantitative imaging technology. The two-day course addresses the definition and development of imaging biomarkers in clinical practice, focusing on the multivariate and multiparametric analysis liver tumours, diffuse liver diseases and bilio-pancreatic conditions. The course will cover the clinical needs, technical solutions and practical implementation aspects. Also, the main biases in validating and reporting imaging biomarkers will be covered. Moreover, the course will discuss the state of the art of imaging biomarkers in these abdominal organs and how should they be implemented in daily clinical practice. A unique group of European faculty members, well known for their experience in applying novel imaging biomarkers, will offer top quality didactic lectures followed by technical considerations and clinical impact discussions in small groups.
