Course Objectives
At the conclusion of this course, participants should be better able to:
- Provide a comprehensive overview of state-of-the-art multiparametric prostate magnetic resonance imaging
- Describe the benefit of prostate MR imaging for active surveillance and biopsy planning
- Understand how prostate MR imaging can improve focal therapy, prostatectomy, and radiation therapy planning
- Recognize the importance of post-processing of multiparametric prostate MR imaging data
- Discuss standardized reporting/PIRADS
- Describe advances in prostatic mpMRI, including contrast enhancement, and diffusion weighted imaging as well as the optimal timing for performing mpMRI post-biopsy
- Evaluate and differentiate between different approaches for using MRI to guide prostate biopsy
- Discuss factors that enhance effectiveness of minimally invasive procedures and establish and utilize treatment strategies that decrease complications
The conference will also be available via a realtime streaming webinar. For those unable to physically attend, you may still participate and earn CME credit via an online meeting room live webinar. You will be able to hear the speaker, see the slides and text questions in a chat window to still participate in any Q&A. After registering, please email Jodi Canapp at [email protected] to obtain the weblink, username and password.
