CT/MRI of the Abdomen and Pelvis

UCSF Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging

UCSF's CT/MRI of the Abdomen and Pelvis activity is an intensive review and update of clinical imaging of the abdomen and pelvis. It provides a thorough understanding of state-of-the-art imaging methods as they pertain to current clinical practice. Lecture topics include established techniques and technical advances in CT and MRI as they pertain to the gastrointestinal and genitourinary systems. Other lecture highlights include CT/MR cholangiography, imaging of bariatric surgery, and CT/MR applications to obstetric/gynecologic imaging. The faculty review core concepts as well as indicate future directions emerging in practice. Practical techniques are presented.
