"CT and MRI of pancreatic tumours: imaging features before, during and after treatment"
Speaker: Riccardo Manfredi (Verona, Italy)
Learning objectives:
• to understand the role of CT and MRI for the detection and characterization of malignant pancreatic tumours
• to learn about the performance of CT and MRI for staging pancreatic cancer and know the imaging findings relevant for clinical decision making
• to be familiar with the imaging findings of complications that may arise following pancreatic surgery and understand how to treatment sequelae can be distinguished from recurrent pancreatic tumour
