ESOR 2008 ANNUAL REPORT<br />
EUROPEAN SCHOOL OF RADIOLOGY<br />
<strong>Visiting</strong> <strong>Scholarship</strong> <strong>Programme</strong> 2008<br />
My experience<br />
Daniel Knap<br />
University Medical Centre, Katowice/PL<br />
Topic: MRI Protocols<br />
Training Centre: University Medical Center, Groningen/NL<br />
It was a great pleasure for me to have participated in the ESOR visiting scholarship programme.<br />
I am very grateful to ESR and the training centre, especially Professor Paul Sijens,<br />
for the support to continue my education in radiology. I conducted research with novel<br />
software that segments and computes the MRI brain volume in multiple sclerosis patients.<br />
I was able to undertake and understand MRI advanced techniques and imaging protocols. I<br />
also took part in MRI morning meetings with physicians from the clinic. Now I have a general<br />
view of the Netherlands medical education and advanced healthcare system. I have learned<br />
a lot and I think it will improve my work and my radiological reports. My scholarship has<br />
been a productive time as well as a helpful hint for my further professional development in<br />
MRI. I have gained new theoretical and practical experience during the training period.<br />

Topic: Multidetector CT Protocols<br />
Training Centre: Medical University of Vienna/AT<br />
The ESOR visiting scholarship programme was a great opportunity for me to improve my skills<br />
and to learn something new in the field of computed tomography. During my stay I had a chance<br />
to actively participate at CT examinations, and to analyse and discuss many interesting cases.<br />
I assisted with revisions of CT protocols according to the newest literature findings with special<br />
focus on radiation dosages. I also received basic training in advanced CT techniques such<br />
as virtual colonoscopy. The training allowed me to broaden my knowledge about multi-detector<br />
CT indications, applications, protocols and my skills in CT image post-processing. I would<br />
like to thank Professor Christian Herold for the unique opportunity to spend three months at<br />
his department, and my supervisor Dr. Helmut Ringl and the skillful team of consultants for<br />
their patience and hospitality during my stay. I would like to thank them, that despite their<br />
busy work schedule they found the time to share their experiences and knowledge with me.<br />
