Course Co-Directors: Ruedi F.-L. Thoeni, MD and W. Richard Webb, MD
MDCT and MR Update: Body and Musculoskeletal
Imaging program features helical multi-detector row
CT (MDCT) and MRI as it applies to diseases in
the chest, abdomen and pelvis, and musculoskeletal
system. Newer and established cross-sectional
methods are discussed. For MDCT, emphasis is
placed on high-resolution chest CT, the diagnosis
of pulmonary artery and aortic abnormalities,
lung cancer and the solitary nodule, and use of
multiplanar reformations (MPRs) for abdomen and
pelvis. The use of neutral oral contrast material
and proper timing of intravenous contrast agent
with fast scanning is emphasized. For MRI,
state-of-the-art techniques are addressed; especially,
breath-hold imaging and its results. The diagnostic
challenge of assessing manifestations of various
focal and diffuse conditions in the liver is addressed
with MDCT and MRI. Incidental lesions discovered
on thin-section MDCT and their clinical significance
is analyzed.
