The aim of this course:
With this course, we intend to familiarise the attendees with MR Imaging in children so that the indications would be better understood and the examinations optimised. The ten topics that have been chosen cover most of nowadays indications. Experienced lecturers have been chosen according to their technical and pedagogic skills.
Participation requirements:
Physicians who have attended the School of MRI ‘From Basic Physics to Improved Imaging Strategies’ course (former 'Applied MR Techniques' course) or have good knowledge in MR techniques from other sources; minimum of 6 months experience in applied Paediatric MRI.
Learning Objectives
MRI in children: Optimal Preparation and Techniques
• To describe the environment and monitoring that is indispensable for the success of the examination
• To optimise the sequences for paediatric examinations
Neuro MRI 1
• Techniques of neuro MRI
• Neonatal lesions & infections
Neuro MRI 2
• Malformations (brain & spine), tumours
• Presentation, sequences, strategy
Cardiovascular MRI in children
• To discuss the strategy of imaging cardiovascular anomalies in children
• To illustrate the strengths and limitations of the technique
Musculoskeletal MRI in children 1
• To optimise musculoskeletal sequences for their use in children trauma (mainly focused on sports injuries), tumours and osteonecrosis
Musculoskeletal MRI in children 2
• Infections, soft tissues pathology: differential diagnostics, typical and atypical features
• Notion of whole body
MR Urography in children
• To discuss the strategy for the work-up of congenital urinary tract malformations
• To discuss the role of Uro-MRI in the assessment of renal function
Fetal MRI
• To discuss the best indications and sequences of fetal MR imaging
• To illustrate anomalies affecting the fetal brain, chest and abdomen
Abdominal MRI: Tumours
• To discuss the best strategy for the work-up of paediatric abdominal tumours
• To illustrate the features of most common tumours of the child’s abdomen (liver, adrenal, kidneys, etc.)
Abdominal MRI: Digestive Tract
• To illustrate more recent MRI applications in the paediatric abdomen, including bilary tract evaluation and entero MRI
