EUROPEAN CONGRESS OF RADIOLOGY 2013 | www.myESR.orgForewordDear ESR Members,Dear Readers,As president of such a large society I have had an extremely busy and demanding year so far,but an enormously enjoyable one too. The huge number and range of activities undertaken by theEuropean Society of Radiology, from confidential personal meetings right up to public events inthe chambers of the European Parliament, has ensured a very challenging yet satisfyingly variedtime at the helm. The year is far too short to achieve everything we have set out to accomplish,but we can already look back on an exciting and very productive period.There is also much to look forward to, not least of all our forthcoming congress, which alreadylooks very promising. Everyone involved in the organisation of our annual meeting is delightedand very proud that abstract submission is once again on the rise. The response to the call forpaper abstracts has been nothing short of superb, especially considering continued economicdifficulties. On a personal level, I am also particularly pleased with the high percentage increasein submissions from the Netherlands. I very much look forward to seeing the final figures onceEPOS submission closes at the end of December.With Prof. Bilbao in charge, I am confident this will be a highly successful congress that will raisethe bar even higher for next year’s organising committees. With that in mind, a new subcommitteehas already been established, chaired by the 2 nd vice-chair of the Congress Committee, to ensurethat the ECR’s tradition of breaking new ground can be continued. The newly created CongressInnovations subcommittee has been charged with the task of finding new paths to take and newcorners to turn, so that our congress will always feature something original with which to capturethe imaginations of our participants.For the upcoming congress, we can again look forward to a programme that offers somethingfor everyone. This preliminary programme will give you a comprehensive overview of what toexpect in March, and Prof. Bilbao’s introduction will take you through some of the highlightsand new features at ECR 2013, but I would also like to give special mention to some key sessions.The ‘ESR Meets’ sessions always prove to be fascinating and I am sure this year will prove tobe no exception as we welcome Chile; South Africa; and Prof. Bilbao’s homeland, Spain, to theECR; as well as this year’s partner society, the European-African Hepato-Pancreato-BiliaryAssociation. I am also proud to say that this congress will boast a broad selection of sessions2ECR 2013 | Preliminary Programme EdiciÓn Invierno

www.myESR.org | EUROPEAN CONGRESS OF RADIOLOGY 2013by the ESR Presidentfor radiographers, which you can see previewed by Prof. Paulo, the president of the EuropeanFederation of Radiographer Societies on page 22. Of particular note is ‘EFRS Meets Spain’, whichrepresents the first time a partner society has hosted a ‘Meets’ session at the ECR. Indeed, we arevery pleased that the wide community of radiographers in Europe also considers the ECR to be‘their’ congress. I very much hope that ‘EFRS Meets’ sessions will become a regular ECR fixture.Aside from preparing for our annual meeting, the ESR’s main activities this year have focusedon emphasising international relations: we have established an office in Brussels so that we cantake a proactive approach to making our collective voice heard in the European Commissionon topics that affect our profession; we are intensifying relations with associate members andother societies outside of Europe; and we are also bringing our institutional member societiescloser to the fold, by having each one represented at ESR committee level by its president. Weare also delighted with the involvement of so many groups from all over the world in the veryfirst International Day of Radiology (IDoR), which took place on November 8. Prompted by thesuccess of the European Day of Radiology last year, which proved to be a very popular event,IDoR 2012 was introduced to provide the first truly global celebration of radiology, and we werehappy that so many radiologists joined us in marking the day and promoting our profession.With so much already achieved, I am relishing the prospect of addressing you all in a fewmonths’ time, to look back upon a full year’s work. Even more so, I am looking forward to joiningyou all at ECR 2013 for the scientific, educational and social highlight of our year.Gabriel P. KrestinESR PresidentPreliminary Programme EdiciÓn Invierno | ECR 2013 3

EUROPEAN CONGRESS OF RADIOLOGY 2013 | www.myESR.orgForewordDear Colleagues,I have the great pleasure and honour of presenting the programme for ECR 2013. Thanksto the hard and dedicated work of a great team, which includes specialists from every cornerof Europe and every radiological subspecialty, this new ECR programme is now ready for you.The programme offers many sessions, in many different formats, with the aim of educatingand entertaining at the same time. The ECR is the event where specialists, from all over the worldand many different disciplines can come together and take advantage of a unique opportunityto meet with others in their field.The ECR programme has been arranged into different groups of sessions. For 2013, some ofthem will continue with successful sessions from previous congresses and some others will benew, as is always the case with the ECR. The congress is constantly evolving, and the ProgrammeCommittee as well as the ESR Office strives tirelessly to stay ahead of the educational needs anddemands of radiologists and radiographers. We try to imagine the future and invest in it. The‘Rising Stars’ programme is aimed at attracting future specialists to the radiological sciences,please take a look at its sessions and promote them among your young colleagues and students.ECR 2013 will have three Categorical Courses. ‘Never without Arteries’ will take place withinthe ‘Clinical Lessons for Imaging Core Knowledge – CLICK’ sessions and will present some ofthe straightforward answers that radiology can provide for complex and frequent clinical vascularquestions. ‘Urogenital Imaging’ will be a continuation of the ECR 2012 session, and it will covernew topics, which aim to meet all the educational needs of this specific topic. ‘Oncologic Imaging:Follow-up of Systemic and Local Therapies’ will summarise the most update informationabout how responses, to any kind of therapy, should be evaluated in most oncologic situations.The course will present radiological findings and fields of research, both morphological andfunctional, within this challenging field of daily practice.Complex liver tumours need the multidisciplinary approach of several specialties. TheECR 2013 programme includes three sessions that will show how experts from different disciplines,within the same institution, interact and decide on the best way to approach specificclinical situations. In these particular Multidisciplinary Sessions, radiology will be representedby colleagues from both diagnostic and interventional radiology.The number of Mini Courses has been increased. Courses on basic radiological concepts haveproven particularly popular and so the number of lessons on this topic, taught by experiencedprofessors, has been doubled. This year ‘The Beauty of Basic Knowledge’ course will have twodifferent topics: head and neck imaging and musculoskeletal imaging. ECR 2013 will also continuewith the subject of ‘Controversies’, the most current clinical hot topics in our specialty, and thisyear these sessions will concentrate on breast imaging.4ECR 2013 | Preliminary Programme EdiciÓn Invierno

www.myESR.org | EUROPEAN CONGRESS OF RADIOLOGY 2013by the ECR Congress PresidentThe programme has been prepared with the aim of facilitating interaction, since the exchangeof ideas is a major way to teach and learn. This year the successful ‘European Excellence inEducation – E 3 ’ will include fourteen 90-minute sessions, which will cover all the major aspectsof radiology with attractive titles such as ‘tips and tricks’ and ‘pitfalls’. The Foundation Coursewill deal with neuroimaging and, as in previous years, will be followed by a self-assessment test.There will be two practical courses on how to ‘Update Your Skills’, which will provide interactivedemonstrations and opportunities for hands-on experience on ‘How to biopsy’ and ‘How to ablate.’Once again, the ESR will have three countries and one partner discipline share their expertisethrough its dedicated ‘ESR Meets’ programme. Chile, South Africa, Spain and the European-AfricanHepato-Pancreato-Biliary Association will present their most recent scientific developmentsin joint sessions and try to strengthen links between professionals. For the first time, ECR 2013will include a new session entitled ‘EFRS meets’ (European Federation of Radiographer Societies)and this year they will be meeting Spain. The ESR and EFRS are actively working together to buildeven closer relations between both societies and for this purpose the ECR is an excellent event.Is it time for radiologists to come out of the dark? Should we improve the visibility of radiologists?Are the radiologist, the clinician and the patient an impossible trio? These, among others,burning questions will be tackled in one Professional Challenges Session (PC). Other importanttopics, which are also directly related to our future, such as ‘Personalised radiology’, will be discussedin different PC sessions and we highly recommend you attend.The ECR 2013 programme includes many other sessions. You will have the opportunity toattend Refresher Courses and State of the Art Symposia, learn more about the most recent NewHorizons in radiology or concentrate on Special Focus Sessions that cover a wide variety of topics.But the ECR is much more than what I have been able to describe here. Thanks to the activeparticipation of attendees, the support of industry and the extraordinary team in the ESR Office,our congress is now one of the most important radiological events in the world.José Ignacio BilbaoECR 2013 Congress PresidentPreliminary Programme EdiciÓn Invierno | ECR 2013 5

EUROPEAN CONGRESS OF RADIOLOGY 2013 | www.myESR.org‘ESR meets Spain’By Mélisande RougerFriday, March 8,10:30–12:00ESR meets SpainEM 1:Imaging:essential toolfrom diagnosisto treatmentSpain, home to the ECR 2013 Congress President, ProfessorJosé Ignacio Bilbao, will be a guest within the ‘ESR meets’programme next March in Vienna. The European Societyof Radiology (ESR) spoke with Professor Carmen Ayuso,president of the Spanish Society of Medical Radiology(SERAM), ahead of the session, which will focus onischaemic stroke, aortic aneurisms and hepatocellularcarcinoma imaging, as well as the general state of radiologyin Spain.The European Society of Radiology (ESR): What are the latest advances and remainingchallenges in ischaemic stroke imaging?Carmen Ayuso: The latest advances in this field are the generalised use of diffusion-perfusionand perfusion CT in evaluating the penumbra area in stroke patients, and the selection of goodcandidates for endovascular rescue after endovascular treatment failure. The accurate measure ofthe real penumbra volume based on these techniques and their accurate correlation with clinicalevolution remain a challenge.ESR: What modalities are used to image ischaemic stroke and are there enough equipmentand qualified staff to do so in Spain?CA: We actually prefer to use perfusion CT in selecting anterior circulation 0–6h stroke onsetpatients because of their accessibility and our results. We tend to use diffusion/perfusion MRI inposterior fossa and unknown onset stroke patients. There are enough qualified staff and equipmentin the reference centres where endovascular (EV) treatment is offered.ESR: What modalities are used to image patients suffering from aortic aneurysms? Whatrole do these modalities play in diagnosis, treatment and follow-up?CA: CT and MR angiography are the imaging techniques most often used for patients sufferingfrom aortic aneurysms. Angio CT plays a prominent role in the diagnosis, treatment planningand follow-up of patients treated with EV techniques.ESR: Are there any promising developments in this field?CA: Complex EVAR (endovascular aneurysm repair) including branched, fenestrated and chimneyprocedures, allows a wider indication for this treatment. Repair of endoleaks by direct punctureof the residual aneurysmal sac using 3D navigators is a promising complementary treatmenttechnique for these technical and clinical problems.16ECR 2013 | Preliminary Programme EdiciÓn Invierno

www.myESR.org | EUROPEAN CONGRESS OF RADIOLOGY 2013will show imaging’scentral role inpatient managementESR: Could you please tell me more about the Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC)staging system?CA: Up to now, the only proposal linking staging to prognostic prediction and treatment indicationhas been the BCLC approach. This classification has emerged as the standard classificationfor the clinical management of HCC. The BCLC classification has been validated externally inprospective studies and different settings, and establishes treatment recommendations for allstages of HCC. It has been endorsed by several scientific associations (EASL, AASLD, ESMO,WGO). It was presented in 1999 (Llovet JM, et al. Semin Liver Dis 1999; 19: 329–38) and sincethen it has been refined according to new scientific evidence. The last update was published in2012 (Forner A, et al. Lancet 2012;379:1245).ESR: How high is the incidence of HCC in Spain?CA: The latest estimates from the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) indicatean age-adjusted incidence rate in men of 9.2 x 100.000, while it is significantly lower in women.This corresponds to an intermediate rate similar to other countries of southern Europe. However,it is important to note that HCC is currently the main cause of death in patients with cirrhosis,and accounts for more than 30% of patients registered for liver transplantation all over Europe.ESR: Why did you choose these three topics to illustrate Spanish radiology at ECR 2013?CA: I chose topics where radiologists are involved in the management of the patient, from beginningto end, from screening to treatment, and even further into the follow-up after treatment.Radiology in Spain is completely integrated into multidisciplinary teams for many specific processeslike participating in the decision-making process and improving efficacy. I selected threetopics in which we have a particularly important role.Professor Carmen Ayuso fromBarcelona, president of the SpanishSociety of Medical Radiology(SERAM), will preside over the‘ESR meets Spain’ session.Preliminary Programme EdiciÓn Invierno | ECR 2013 17

EUROPEAN CONGRESS OF RADIOLOGY 2013 | www.myESR.orgESR: What do you expect from your participation in the ‘ESR meets’ programme?CA: I particularly expect to increase knowledge and awareness of the tasks of Spanish radiologistsin Europe. Also, I expect to make deeper ties with other researchers and groups working withimaging to enrich radiology and Spanish radiology in a general sense.ESR: Scientific research has been hit hard by Spain’s austerity budget. How does this affectimaging research across the country?CA: These are hard times in Europe, especially in southern countries. Nevertheless these challengingsituations create an opportunity for creative and imaginative people like us to innovateand take advantage of this moment. Scientific research is carrying on with enthusiasm as we willshow in our session on Spanish radiology at ERC 2013.ESR: Has this translated into a renewed interest from Spanish radiologists in internationalprojects? Is it more interesting for Spanish radiologists to take part in internationalconferences such as the ECR now than a few years ago?CA: Of course we are interested in new research fields and professional options, but this is notnew. We have consolidated researchers working in international projects not only in Europe, butalso in the United States. We also have well-known radiologists deeply involved in the ECR andESR, such as Professors Luis Donoso and Luis Martí-Bonmatí. Professor José Ignacio Bilbao ispresident of ECR 2013, and Spanish radiologists have been very active participants in the ECRin recent years.18ECR 2013 | Preliminary Programme EdiciÓn Invierno

www.myESR.org | EUROPEAN CONGRESS OF RADIOLOGY 2013ESR: Are Spanish radiologists looking forward more to developing their careers outsidetheir country nowadays?CA: In the global world we live in, frontiers are less rigid. Nowadays, we have more Spanish radiologistsworking outside the country and we also have more foreign radiologists working in Spain.ESR: Do you think cooperation between European radiologists is generally satisfactory?Could it be improved and, if yes, how?CA: Yes, cooperation exists and it can always be improved. Communication, scientific rigour, compromiseand seriousness are the most important elements to improve confidence and cooperation.ESR: Are you a regular visitor to the ECR? What do you enjoy the most at the congress?CA: Yes, I regularly attend the ECR because it is a very good opportunity to share professionalexperiences, results, doubts and initiatives with other colleagues, who also regularly attend thecongress. You learn during the sessions and also outside of them.ESR: Are you looking forward to any scientific sessions in particular at ECR 2013?CA: From an organisational point of view, I am interested in a controversial topic that will bediscussed in the Special Focus Sessions entitled ‘Radiographers and ultrasonography in Europe.’Also, I am interested, of course, in the Multidisciplinary Sessions dedicated to HepatocellularCarcinoma (MS4), which is my particular field of interest, to see the Pamplona (Spain) team inaction, and to share experiences and discuss approaches with them.ESR: Is there anything you would like to add?CA: I am pretty sure that with international collaboration, Europe will contribute significantly tothe improvement and global success of radiology. The ECR is the best place to do so.Preliminary Programme EdiciÓn Invierno | ECR 2013 19

EUROPEAN CONGRESS OF RADIOLOGY 2013 | www.myESR.orgChile looks forwardto ‘ESR meets’ andnew forms ofcooperationin the futureBy Mélisande RougerSunday, March 10,10:30–12:00ESR meets ChileEM 4:Topics of ongoingradiological researchfrom the AndesNext year, ‘ESR meets’ will mark Latin America’s returnto the ECR. After Argentina in 2010 and Brazil in 2011,Chile will be a guest within the popular programme, whichpromotes dialogue between radiologists from all over theworld. ECR delegates will be given the opportunity tolearn about the latest developments in Chilean radiologyand appreciate the local realities of this faraway country.The ESR spoke with Professor Miguel Ángel Pinochet,president of the Chilean Society of Radiology, ahead ofthe meeting.The European Society of Radiology (ESR): Chile is the third Latin American countryinvited to take part in the ‘ESR meets’ programme. What do you expect from yourparticipation?Miguel Ángel Pinochet: We have great expectations. As a small country, it is a great honour tobe invited to this meeting. We hope that our European colleagues will enjoy and learn from ourspeakers. They have prepared very interesting talks about recent advances in common medicalconditions, which every radiologist should know about.ESR: Do you think cooperation between Chilean, and more generally South American, andEuropean radiologists is satisfactory? Could it be improved and, if yes, how?MAP: Usually, young Chilean radiologists tend to apply for subspecialty fellowships in the UnitedStates, but we are aware that European radiology has many advantages. I am sure that the ESRcould participate more in congresses and specific courses in Latin America, sharing costs withlocal radiological societies. Such initiatives would increase the influence of European radiologyin our area.20ECR 2013 | Preliminary Programme EdiciÓn Invierno

www.myESR.org | EUROPEAN CONGRESS OF RADIOLOGY 2013ESR: Chile is very diverse and multi-ethnic. Is that a challenge for a homogenous nationalradiology training?MAP: The main challenge is to increase the number of radiology residency programmes. Today,there are only eight in the country, training 40 residents per year. We need to double this number,as there is a deficit of radiologists that exceeds 300 positions, mainly at public hospitals. Also,there is nothing like a national curriculum in Chile, and there are big differences in terms ofprogramme quality. We need to advance into a national curriculum, and maybe the ESR couldbe a reference standard for us.ESR: What is the current state of radiological care in Chile? Do patients have access to thetechnology and expertise they need?MAP: Seventy-three percent of Chilean citizens are beneficiaries of the public health system,which has nationwide coverage. Sixteen percent of Chileans have private insurance. Most hospitalshave adequate radiological equipment, but the main problem is the shortage of radiologists. Mostradiologists prefer to work at private centres, because public salaries are too low. As a nationalradiological society, we encourage radiologists to split their work between private and publichospitals, because most Chileans cannot afford private institutions. Nevertheless, health indicatorsare among the best in Latin America.ESR: Have you already attended the ECR? If yes, what did you enjoy the most at thecongress?MAP: Yes, I have been at the ECR meeting several times. I think the scientific level is excellent,and, of course, I enjoy the city.Professor Miguel Ángel Pinochet fromSantiago, president of the ChileanSociety of Radiology, will lead theteam of Chilean experts for the ‘ESRmeets Chile’ session.ESR: Are you looking forward to any scientific sessions in particular at ECR 2013?MAP: As a breast imaging specialist, I am very interested in the Special Focus Session SF 15b, tobe held on Sunday March 10, about digital breast tomosynthesis. We expect to get new equipmentthis year, so I am very excited to see if it really has something new to add to cancer diagnosis.ESR: The ECR is a long way to go for South American radiologists. What do you think ofthe initiative ‘ECR Goes to’, which broadcasts live sessions from the congress online? Didsome of your colleagues make use of this new service during ECR 2012?MAP: Not really, as it is a new initiative. We will promote it among our nationals and members.ESR: Is there anything you would like to add?MAP: We are looking forward to having more and more cooperation with European radiologistsin the next few years. I am sure that there are a lot of opportunities to share education andresearch with our fellow European societies.Preliminary Programme EdiciÓn Invierno | ECR 2013 21

www.myESR.org | EUROPEAN CONGRESS OF RADIOLOGY 2013SF 7a: Radiographers and ultrasonography in EuropeFriday, March 8, 16:00–17:30, Room BThis is a very important session covering an issue that is a little controversial, because radiographersare not performing ultrasound in all EU countries. The session should give us a chanceto see the main advantages of radiographers performing ultrasound themselves. We are verymuch in favour of the ‘radiology family’; the idea that there should be permanent links betweenradiologists and radiographers in all techniques and modalities and that these techniques shouldbe kept within the remit of the radiology department in order to deliver the best care possible forpatients. The matter of who is allowed to perform ultrasound is completely unregulated and inseveral countries other professions use it with no experience or specialist knowledge and probablywith less-than-ideal outcomes for patients.RC 714: Clinical audit: from EURATOM to the clinical environmentFriday, March 8, 16:00–17:30, Room BAccording to the literature, there is a severe lack of implementation of clinical audit, asdescribed in the EURATOM treaty, in radiology departments in the majority of EU countries.In this session we will try to understand what is going on in Europe, looking at experiences indifferent countries with different models, and we will try to understand what kind of impact theimplementation of these audit guidelines could bring to health systems. If you look at what shouldbe controlled, assessed and evaluated in daily practice, it is all with the purpose of improvingquality and patient security, and promoting a radiation protection culture. Even when clinicalaudit is not being implemented, it is important for radiographers to be aware of the concept andto know what to check in order to avoid errors.Preliminary Programme EdiciÓn Invierno | ECR 2013 23

EUROPEAN CONGRESS OF RADIOLOGY 2013 | www.myESR.orgRC 1114: Hot topics in magnetic resonance imagingSaturday, March 9, 16:00–17:30, Room BThere are three separate but important topics being addressed in this session. The first willaim to help us gain a better understanding of what we mean when we talk about MR safety. Thesecond will highlight how it is possible to do more with our MR systems and what radiographerscan do to improve. The final talk is called ‘Challenges and opportunities in paediatric MR’ andprovides a very good example of the way that radiographers need to think in all modalities. Thereare a tremendous number of factors challenging radiographers on a daily basis in all fields, butjust as many opportunities to make those vital adjustments that can vastly improve the qualityof the services we provide.RC 1214: Dose optimisation in computed tomographySunday, March 10, 08:30–10:00, Room BThis is always an important topic for radiographers because technology is improving so fastthat we always need to know how to keep up. Whenever we use CT we are using a modality thatin the last ten years has increased the population dose more than five-fold. So the purpose ofthis session is for us to understand what kind of innovations are being made in dose optimisation;the possibilities of new equipment, new protocols, and the new ways of doing things thatcan help radiographers in daily practice to decrease dose not only in patients, but also in staff. Itis always possible to do better with less, but there is not always a bridge between technologicaldevelopment and daily practice. So we need to develop a team concept in order to translate newadvances into the hospital, to achieve better optimised procedures to decrease dose in the patient.24ECR 2013 | Preliminary Programme EdiciÓn Invierno

www.myESR.org | EUROPEAN CONGRESS OF RADIOLOGY 2013RC 1414: Towards advancing and developingthe role of radiographersSunday, March 10, 14:00–15:30, Room BThis Refresher Course aims to help attendees understand the situations in different countriesand how they have affected the development of the profession, as well as their impact on healthsystems and healthcare delivery. The take-home message will be that a profession can only developif its body of knowledge is defined and a strategy is put in place to develop that body of knowledge.This has to involve research and particularly evidence-based practice research, so we will try tounderstand how we can do that research and implement the results in daily practice. Continuedprofessional development is also very important in maintaining and improving the quality ofcare delivered to the patient. We hope that we can provide plenty of examples in this session forpeople to take home and hopefully use to influence change on a national level.RC 1514: Hybrid imaging technologiesSunday, March 10, 16:00–17:30, Room BWhat are the recent developments in hybrid imaging technologies, what are they used for,and most importantly, how should radiography education look at them to understand what kindof output to provide for the market? There are currently only two or three countries that haveseparate education for nuclear medicine and radiography; in most countries they are combined.We have to look at this and see how it is possible to combine these two modalities, these twospecialised fields, and still guarantee the quality of the young graduates that we put into themarket and the quality of the care delivered to the patient. It is difficult, but by the end of thissession we would like to understand how radiography education should develop in the futureregarding emerging technology.Preliminary Programme EdiciÓn Invierno | ECR 2013 25

EUROPEAN CONGRESS OF RADIOLOGY 2013 | www.myESR.orgRadiologists gatherto contemplate thefuture of MR/PETBy Mélisande RougerSaturday, March 9,08:30–10:00NH 8:MR/PET:a marriage made inheaven or hell?The field of possibilities offered by MR/PET is excitingbut remains unclear. Only a few machines are availableworldwide and very little information exists about this newhybrid modality. Research is ongoing, but it is still too earlyto produce results. Always at the forefront of innovation, theECR will feature a special New Horizons Session to presentdelegates with the prospects, potential and requirementsof MR/PET in neurological and oncologic imaging, nextMarch in Vienna.MR/PET is a completely new technology, introduced about two years ago. As such, it requiresclinical evaluation and raises many questions regarding its value, explained session chairmanProfessor Bernd Hamm, director of the Institute of Radiology at the Charité University Hospitalin Berlin.“The questions are: in which indication will we have a benefit, and how big will these benefitsbe? In other words, is MR/PET just a very expensive new toy without real medical benefits or doesit offer completely new diagnostic insights that would improve the treatment of patients?” he said.Sequential imaging of both modalities already provides very good morphological and metabolicinformation. MR is considered to have the best contrast resolution in cross-sectional imaging; itprovides a lot of anatomical detail, and offers the option of measuring parameters of perfusion,cell density and metabolism, while PET allows the study of metabolic changes with sensitivityin the picomolar range. The information from MR and PET images is highly valuable in manyfields, including oncologic, cardiovascular and neurological imaging.So why would a combination of MR with PET be of value? Many arguments speak in favourof such a union. One such argument is that it could improve tumour detection, by allowing thevisualisation of a lesion through both morphological and metabolic images with unrivalledsensitivity. Professor Heinz-Peter Schlemmer, head of the radiology department at the GermanCancer Research Centre, has worked extensively on comparative studies with whole-body MRand PET/CT for the detection of solid tumours. He found that, while all modalities are useful forthis task, depending on the particular tumour entities, MR and PET have the highest accuracy.“Interestingly the important information came either from MR or PET studies, but CT wasoften not that relevant. We thought that the combination of PET and MR would be ideal to detectand typify tumours. Locally, the tumour can be imaged with the best anatomical resolution byMR, and in addition you have this metabolic and membrane receptor information about cellsfrom PET, so together you increase your sensitivity and specificity for tumour detection andcharacterisation,” he said.30ECR 2013 | Preliminary Programme EdiciÓn Invierno

www.myESR.org | EUROPEAN CONGRESS OF RADIOLOGY 2013Professor Bernd Hamm from Berlin,Germany, will chair the New HorizonsSession on MR/PET.Professor Heinz-Peter Schlemmerfrom Heidelberg, Germany, willtalk about the role of MR/PET inoncologic imaging.The combination of morphological, functional and metabolic information proves useful atevery step of cancer imaging. It enables radiologists to detect and characterise tumours veryaccurately, by showing tumour size, infiltrative pattern and growth potential. It is very good forlocal staging, distant metastatic staging, treatment monitoring, and follow-up.“For instance in patients with pole melanoma, we use FDG PET/CT with glucose to assesstumour spread. MR is very important to detect tumour spread in the brain, liver and bone marrowand PET allows us to see tumours early, particularly in lymph nodes. If you put it all together, youobtain very precise information about tumour spread, which you can use not only for therapyfollow-up, but also for early detection,” Schlemmer said. MR/PET could also be used for patientswith other types of solid tumour, e.g. breast and prostate tumours, he suggested.Another argument in favour of MR/PET is that it generates very low levels of radiation. Thiscould be particularly important for repeated imaging during therapy monitoring and follow-upas well as imaging of young patients, for instance young men with testicular cancer.Having all the information in one examination represents a significant time-saver, whichmeans that treatment could be started or modified earlier. It would also prove more comfortableand less stressful for patients, who wouldn’t have to wait for another examination or new results.It might also be easier to put in place an MR/PET machine than merge sequential imagingat a later stage. “In principle, you could do a PET/CT first and then an MR examination; sophisticatedsoftware would process and merge the images. It might work that way, but in dailypractice it sounds unlikely because it is too complex and time consuming, whereas having anMR/PET machine would allow you to have all the information in 45 minutes without furtherpost-processing,” he said.If the clinical benefits prove to be worthwhile, MR/PET could be useful in imaging tumourentities, despite the difficulties, he predicted. “According to my experience, it would be worth it,but it would also be quite complex. PET and MR are the most sophisticated imaging modalities,and both require a lot of expertise. To have it all in one machine, you would need even greaterexpertise to interpret the images. You would need to know a lot about PET and MR, and aboutoncology and treatment. But once the expertise is there, it could offer a very fast and comprehensiveassessment for detection and staging of tumours as well as therapy monitoring,” said Schlemmer,who trained in physics before becoming a medical doctor.Working with MR/PET means working closely with physicists, radiopharmacists, oncologistsand, naturally, nuclear doctors, especially for making diagnoses. The level of cooperation betweenradiologists and nuclear physicists demanded by hybrid modalities might require more than just aninterest in the other’s discipline; it might require further subspecialisation. Only the future will tell.Preliminary Programme EdiciÓn Invierno | ECR 2013 31

EUROPEAN CONGRESS OF RADIOLOGY 2013 | www.myESR.orgWorking in a specialenvironment requiresspecial expertiseImaging in intensive care patientsBy David ZizkaSpecial FocusSessionFriday, March 8,16:00–17:30SF 7c:Imaging inintensive carepatientsIntensive care units are special working environments,presenting radiologists with complex cases and patientswith severe conditions. Diagnostic imaging examinationsand the work of the radiologist have to be adapted towardsthese special circumstances, which can be one of thebiggest challenges when working in an intensive careunit. Today there is a strong need for accurate, clinicallyrelevant radiological input, which often has to be workedout while facing a lack of adequate image material andpatients suffering from life-threatening conditions.The ECR 2013 Special Focus Session on imaging in intensive care patients, chaired by ESRPast-President, Professor András Palkó from Szeged Medical School in Hungary, will give an upto-dateoverview on the use of common imaging methods in the ICU environment. Special FocusSessions are clearly aimed at in-depth analysis and the promotion of scientific debate betweenthe speakers and their audience.“The intensive care unit is a very special environment requiring special expertise from boththe technicians and the radiologists working in a technically challenging situation. The patientsare typically in very severe conditions, frequently unconscious, and almost always connectedto life-support and monitoring equipment,” Prof. Palkó pointed out some of the difficulties ofworking in an ICU.As a result of this, the majority of imaging examinations are performed on patients with limitedability to cooperate and often at the bedside. Reports are then typically written with insufficientclinical information, based on technically limited images, even though the need for accurateimaging material and radiological information is even greater than in standard clinical settings.Intensive care patients are typically in a severe state caused by a wide variety of medical, surgicaland neurological conditions and in many cases they are supported or maintained by verycomplex machines. Cardiovascular instability, ventilation, and additional machines that closelymonitor vital functions, contribute to the limited transportability of ICU patients, which againmakes some imaging examinations quite difficult.To make matters worse, imaging examinations requested by ICU doctors are frequently urgentand supposed to be reported on immediately.44ECR 2013 | Preliminary Programme EdiciÓn Invierno

www.myESR.org | EUROPEAN CONGRESS OF RADIOLOGY 2013Prof. András Palkó from Szeged,Hungary, will chair the session onimaging in intensive care patients.Prof. Ulrich Linsenmaier from Munich,Germany, will share his expertise inimaging in polytrauma.“The ICU is the ideal turf for bedside, portable ultrasound and ICU physicians are gaining acertain level of expertise in the so-called point-of-care ultrasound examinations allowing themto follow certain interventions with the assistance of real-time imaging. Diagnostic ultrasound,however, is still the task of the radiologist, who, on the other hand, has to be available forbedside examinations whenever it may become necessary. Portable x-ray machines are usingdigital technology today, allowing for telediagnostics if need be, but still emit ionising radiation,requiring special attention when used in a populated ICU environment,” Prof. Palkó describedthe importance of choosing the right method and knowing the consequences that come with it.Mobile CT and MR are not routinely used, as they are not widely available, so not only thepatient but also the live supporting machines have to be brought to the examination room. Thisrequires exact planning of transport and logistics when dealing with ICU patients. For MRIexaminations there are even more limitations, as only special, and quite large, MR-compatibleequipment can be used during the process.It may come as a surprise, but as Prof. Palkó revealed, there is actually no specialised trainingto become an ICU radiologist. However, there are other skills needed that can hardly be trained:“There is no special, formal training for radiologists allowing them to work in an ICU-emergencyenvironment, it is much more a state of mind, a special attitude which makes some of the radiologistsable to perform well under such demanding circumstances. Of course the above-mentionedexpertise has to be acquired, but it may be done much more in daily practice, in close cooperationwith the ICU and emergency physicians.”Another important criterion, which has become important in many other areas of today’smodern medicine, is the ability to act as part of a team of various specialists. A radiologist, servingemergency and ICU patients has to be able to act as a fully cooperative team member andto adapt to the special needs of the environment he is working in. When these qualifications aremet the ‘ICU radiologist’ is an essential and highly esteemed member of the ICU staff and playsan important role in the treatment of intensive care patients.This ECR 2013 Special Focus Session will also feature presentations on the value of MRI inintensive care coma patients with unclear brain pathology, CT of pathologic lung, and point-ofcareversus diagnostic ultrasound.All this will conclude with a presentation by Professor Ulrich Linsenmaier from Munich,president of the European Society of Emergency Radiology, who will share his experience onwhole-body CT in polytrauma patients and their follow-up in intensive care units. He will alsogive the audience in-depth insights into the special role of imaging, the diagnostic algorithms aswell as the technical, organisational and training requirements for the diagnosis and follow-upof polytrauma patients.Preliminary Programme EdiciÓn Invierno | ECR 201345

EUROPEAN CONGRESS OF RADIOLOGY 2013 | www.myESR.orgSafety first:tablets and mobiletechnology inradiologyBy Simon LeeSpecial FocusSessionMonday, March 11,16:00–17:30SF 19:Tablet computersin radiology:friend or foe?Tablet computers can be a surprisingly divisive subject.The passion with which some people argue the relativemerits of competing devices and operating systems can bealmost frightening. In the field of medicine, however, thereappears to be very little argument about the top product,with professionals from many disciplines enthusiasticallyembracing the iPad as a tool for research, education andgeneral communication. Instead the most importantdebate is focused elsewhere, on matters of data securityand patient privacy.As mobile technology spreads throughout the hospital, data naturally follows, and it is slowlyfalling into the hands of an increasingly broad spectrum of people. Radiologists and clinicianstherefore need to be aware, not just of the many mobile applications and resources that canpotentially aid their work, but of the associated risks and best practices concerning the use oftablet technology.“When it comes to the iPad, it’s the same for radiologists as it is for everyone else; everyonewants to use them,” said Dr. Erik Ranschaert, staff radiologist at the Jeroen Bosch Ziekenhuisteaching hospital in ‘s-Hertogenbosch, the Netherlands. “I use mine to keep up with literatureand store important articles, to take notes and integrate pictures, and I also use it during imageinterpretations, when I need to look things up like literature or anatomy. There are a vast numberof tools available for radiologists on the iPad and I think curiosity among radiologists, of how tomake the best of them, is very high.”Ranschaert will speak during the Special Focus Session ‘Tablets in radiology: friend or foe’at ECR 2013, which aims to provide an overview of the current status of tablet technology and adiscussion on the pros and cons of the use of tablets in radiology. Talks will touch on all aspectsof how tablets can assist working radiologists, residents, and students, including a review of radiologicalresources and a close look at DICOM viewers, but the downsides will not be overlooked.“It’s a fact that the use of the iPad is increasing exponentially among medical doctors, notonly radiologists, but there are still a lot of issues that need to be examined. For example, whenyou’re sending images to mobile applications, how safe is it and how can you guarantee patientconfidentiality is not lost? The range of clinicians who make use of and require access to imagesis increasing, so images are on the move more frequently and this is all due to the availability ofthese new technologies,” said Ranschaert.46ECR 2013 | Preliminary Programme EdiciÓn Invierno

www.myESR.org | EUROPEAN CONGRESS OF RADIOLOGY 2013Cardiologists, emergency doctors and surgeons, among others, are finding more and moreuses for iPads, from showing images to patients during bedside consultations, to using them fororientation in surgery; and patients themselves are also gradually taking possession of their ownimages in digital formats. With data flowing more freely, and mobile applications beginning toappear that offer patients services like second opinions, clarification of findings, and report explanations,the question of how to safeguard patient confidentiality is becoming all the more pressing.Dr. Erik Ranschaert(left – pictured here withDr. Jan Schillebeeckx) from‘s-Hertogenbosch, theNetherlands, will speak onmobile teleradiology withtablet computers in thisSpecial Focus Session.“Especially in hospitals, it’s becoming more and more common to have a general hospitalpolicy that before doctors start using mobile applications or tablets, they should sign an agreementto guarantee privacy and security. Images should be available everywhere because they arevery important; they can help to improve quality, avoid mistakes, and generally improve servicesto patients, but I think perhaps not enough hospitals are aware of the safety and security issuesraised by mobile technology,” said Ranschaert.A report last year by the Poneman Institute, an American research centre focusing on privacy,data protection and information security, suggests that although employees in approximately 81percent of healthcare organisations “are using mobile devices to collect, store and/or transmitsome form of protected health information, 49 percent admit their organisations are not doinganything to protect these devices.” 1 One concern is that mobile devices are easily lost, and ifconfidential patient data is stored on board or within applications, it can potentially be accessedby anyone. Ideas to deal with such risks include management from a central location, so that astray device can be locked down or even wiped at a certain distance.Such problems may be accentuated by a tendency towards the ‘bring your own device’ (BOYD)model, in which employees use their personal devices for work, entailing an additional set ofsecurity and safety issues. For instance, unless specific security measures are put in place, whenpersonally owned devices connect with a hospital network, data shared between them is oftennot encrypted, leaving it vulnerable to hacking. BOYD also requires additional investment, notjust in IT infrastructure, but in training and manpower, to apply and monitor appropriate linesof defence against data breaches.However mobile technology develops, these issues are clearly in need of greater consideration,so that when guidelines are created in future, more attention is paid to the very specific safetyaspects of mobile ‘teleradiology’ inside and outside the hospital. Aside from the risks, all medicalstaff using mobile technology need to be familiar with the consequences of data breaches, whichas well as the violation of patient privacy, may extend to fines, lawsuits or negative publicity. Aswith any other kind of security issues, until firm recommendations or directives are in place, thekey to heading off potential problems is awareness.“These things need to be discussed and brought to the attention of everyone, and that’s one ofthe many reasons for a session like this one. People have to start thinking about it; they have tonot only consider the advantages but also the disadvantages, because there is an initial enthusiasmabout these mobile applications and devices, which is fantastic, but there is also a downside andwe have to take that into account,” noted Ranschaert.1 (source: http://www.ponemon.org/blog/post/second-annual-patient-privacy-study-released)Preliminary Programme EdiciÓn Invierno | ECR 2013 47

EUROPEAN CONGRESS OF RADIOLOGY 2013 | www.myESR.orgFrom the backseat to thedriver’s seat:how radiologists should guidediagnostic investigationBy Mélisande RougerFriday, March 8,08:30–10:00PC 4:The visibility ofthe radiologistWith the development of functional imaging, the waypatients are imaged has changed, and so has the role ofthe radiologist. While taking pictures in the basement ofa hospital was considered good enough in the twentiethcentury, radiologists are now required to act as clinicianswithin multidisciplinary teams. Subspecialisation hasbecome necessary for radiologists in order to keep theirleading position in image interpretation. But that is notthe only field where radiologists should take the lead,some experts believe. If radiologists were to increasetheir contribution further up in the diagnostic phase, itwould have a significant impact on clinical outcomes andhealthcare management. A panel of eminent radiologistswill explore ways to do so during a dedicated ProfessionalChallenges Session at ECR 2013, next March in Vienna.In the past, radiologists were expected to act as technicians with excellent knowledge of theanatomy. But with the creation of functional imaging, things have become more complicated. Thecapacity to depict and interpret functions using MRI or PET/CT scans calls for more than theability to read images, and now thorough knowledge of functional processes and organ systemsis expected of radiologists.Meanwhile, many physicians have been increasingly working with images in recent years. Forinstance, surgeons rely on images to prepare for an intervention, and so do radiotherapists todetermine the necessary dose and precise location of a tumour to be destroyed. As their experiencewith reading images is growing, it is likely that these specialists will find it easier to do sowithout the help of radiologists in the future.To put it in a nutshell, if radiology is to achieve its full potential, radiologists will have tomake a clinical contribution as well. “If radiologists wish to retain their role as experts in imageinterpretation, they will not only need a thorough understanding of imaging, but also a detailedunderstanding of anatomy and pathophysiology, and they will need to subspecialise. That is reallysomething we have to take into account in the future. Radiologists will have to get closer to thepatient and talk to the referring physician or surgeon. They will have to become more like clinicaldoctors than they have been until now,” said Andy Adam, professor of interventional radiologyat the University of London.52ECR 2013 | Preliminary Programme EdiciÓn Invierno

www.myESR.org | EUROPEAN CONGRESS OF RADIOLOGY 2013Multidisciplinary work is a reality in most fields of medicine, and radiologists have a centralplace in patient management, providing their expertise at every step of patient care. The bestexample is probably oncologic medicine, where radiologists assist and sometimes guide thedetection, staging, treatment delivery and follow-up of cancer. But overall, they remain too farbehind in the initial phase of patient management and let other specialists conduct the diagnosticinvestigation. To this day, radiologists still send their reports in the post without liaising directlywith the referring physician. Their contact with patients is sometimes non-existent or very limited.As a result, patients have to wait several weeks for a complete diagnosis to be made and receivetreatment. This situation has become unsustainable, as too much time, money and energy is lostin the process, Prof. Adam believes.Andy Adam, professor ofinterventional radiology at theUniversity of London, will speakabout the role of the radiologist inthe 21 st century.“This is a crazy way to practise medicine in the 21 st century. Radiologists act as if they weretechnicians: they take a picture, explain what it shows in a report, and send it to the referringdoctor. Then the doctor asks for another imaging test, and this goes backwards and forwardsmaybe six, seven or eight times, sometimes more. This costs a lot of money and generates a lotof anxiety for the patients and their families, who always wonder whether a test result is goingto be normal or not,” he explained.A much more sensible way would be for the radiologist to act as a clinical doctor and contactthe referring physician directly when significant abnormalities are spotted. “There’s no reasonwhy the radiologist, when he or she sees a clear abnormality, can’t talk to the doctor who sent thepatient and organise things in a practical way to speed up the investigation,” he said.If radiologists took on the role of guiding the investigation rather than just responding to arequest, the whole diagnostic process could be accelerated, money could be saved and clinicaloutcomes and patient welfare could be improved. A practical solution would be to have a seniormember of staff acting as a consultant, to liaise directly with the referring physician and the patient,Adam suggested. Radiologists from the same department could take turns for a few hours a week.“In certain cases, there’s no reason why we can’t have a consultant in the morning and one inthe afternoon, whose job it is to discuss things with the patients, phone up the physician whosent the patient, and explain what they have seen and make recommendations. We could reallyspeed things up if we did that. Some of it is happening already and we could do more if we wereprepared to change the way we work,” he said.This last point probably remains the biggest challenge of all. Convincing radiologists thatthey should change their work habits will prove a tough nut to crack, even if it is in their and thepatient’s best interest.“Cultural changes are always the hardest in anything. People are not used to working differentlyso they could give you 20 reasons why things can’t be changed. But there is no doubt thatwe will need to do that, and we will need to emerge from the dark, talk to patients and doctors,and guide the whole investigation,” he concluded.Preliminary Programme EdiciÓn Invierno | ECR 2013 53

nsCoursesRefresherRefresher Courses, as the name suggests, aim to refresh knowledge,reviewing and updating the more basic subjects for those who have notkept up to speed with certain developments, or who just need a reminder– something of interest not only to young radiologists but also experienceddoctors.The length of the course is 90 minutes (two parts of 35 minutes orthree parts of 23 minutes each) leaving enough time for the introduction(5 minutes) by one of the chairmen and for discussion (15 minutes), either5 minutes allocated at the end of each lecture, or 15 minutes for a paneldiscussion.The course will be given by two or three lecturers and led by one or twomoderator(s) on a defined subject of clinical imaging, imaging technique,interventional radiology and related subjects.Places are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.71

It has not only become an essentialdiscipline within medicine, but has also revolutionisedother fields such as cognitive neuroscience and psychology,where it allows us to ask questions about the brain-behaviourrelationship, inconceivable just a decade or two ago.The ECR 2013 foundation course on neuroimaging, chaired by Prof. Maria Argyropouloufrom the Medical School at the University of Ioannina in Greece, will be primarily aimed ateducating, and young radiologists, especially, will be able to learn new things, and gain a clearerunderstanding of information they may have misunderstood.“Additionally, hints and brief introductions will be given for the modern, more advanced andstate-of-the-art techniques, which have appeared in the field lately. Experienced radiologists willhave the chance to refresh their basic knowledge and get informed of the recent advances. Wehave all worked hard to prepare an interesting and rewarding session, following the success ofprevious ECR neuroimaging sessions,” said Prof. Argyropoulou, describing some aspects of thefoundation course.When asked about the basics of neuroimaging Prof. Argyropoulou explained that she wouldstart with the two categories of neuroimaging – structural and functional imaging. Structuralimaging deals with the structure and morphology of the brain. It mainly provides detailed staticimages of the anatomical features. On the other hand, functional imaging maps brain processesrelated to metabolism, blood flow, regional chemical composition and absorption. It providesdynamic or temporal brain maps, revealing physiological activities. One could say that structuralimaging shows what the brain looks like, whereas functional imaging shows what the brain actuallydoes or how it works. Both descriptions are helpful because they provide complementary informationand in many cases they are closely related to the general biological principle of ‘structuredetermines function.’ Neuroimaging has also shown, in many cases of brain injury, how structuraldamage affects cognitive function and reorganises neuronal networks.Neuroimaging has become significantly important in other fields of medicine such as neurointerventionalprocedures. Advances in neuroimaging modalities such as digital subtractionangiography, transcranial and intravascular ultrasonography, interventional dynamic 64-slicecomputed tomography, (intravascular) magnetic resonance imaging, and molecular and cellularneuroimaging using microbubbles have helped to improve existing therapies and pioneer new110ECR 2013 | Preliminary Programme EdiciÓn Invierno

www.myESR.org | EUROPEAN CONGRESS OF RADIOLOGY 2013ones. Neuroimaging guides needles and catheters, providing safe paths for these instrumentsthrough the body to the diseased areas, minimising physical trauma to patients, reducing infectionrates and shortening recovery time and hospital stays.Neuroimaging is seen as having great potential in the early detection of debilitating braindiseases, even before common clinical symptoms occur.The foundation course onneuroimaging will be chaired byProf. Maria Argyropoulou from theMedical School at the University ofIoannina in Greece.“Alzheimer’s disease is an ideal example of the potential of neuroimaging in the early detectionof a common and devastating brain disease, before the occurrence of clinical symptoms,”explained Prof. Argyropoulou. The clinical diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease is based on CSF markers,such as Aβ 1-42, t-tau and p-tau. However, these markers are not related to disease severityor progression. A variety of structural and functional MRI studies, and functional PET studieshave clearly shown anatomical, functional and molecular brain changes before significant cognitiveimpairment, during the presymptomatic and preclinical stages. Anatomical markers includehippocampal atrophy, ventricular volume, whole-brain atrophy and diffusion-MR markers in themedial temporal white matter (parahippocampus and posterior cingulum) and hippocampus.Functional markers have been produced mainly by resting-state fMRI and connectivity studies. Inaddition, β-amyloid deposits can be used as a molecular imaging marker as they are measured by11C-PiB PET uptake. All these early indications are extremely important for the fast and optimaltreatment of the disease. They may also indicate disease progression, but this has not yet beenproven conclusively. So far, there have been promising, but isolated research results. Hopefully,in the near future large scale multi-centre longitudinal studies such as the ‘Alzheimer’s DiseaseNeuroimaging Initiative’ will prove the clinical merit of these biomarkers and most importantlycome up with standardised tools and procedures in order to provide us with reliable neuroimagingprotocols and new validated diagnostic and prognostic criteria for the disease.The connection between neuroimaging and psychology remains a contentious topic amongexperts. Supporters of neuroimaging believe that there is some ‘systematic’ mapping from psychologicalfunction to brain function, which can be detected using neuroimaging. They believethat neuroimaging data can constrain cognitive theories in ways that cannot be addressed bybehavioural experiments alone, and therefore they can be used to distinguish between competingpsychological theories. Opponents argue that neuroimaging provides little evidence as to wherea cognitive process is performed and has little relevance to how it is performed. They argue thatneuroimaging provides descriptions of where, but not how the brain functions, an importantfactor for psychology.“I believe that the truth lies somewhere between these two opinions. With our current technologywe can detect brain activity, but in spatial and temporal scales which do not allow us to fullycomprehend the inner mechanisms that produce it. We have taken only the first, but importantsteps towards understanding the human brain. The burgeoning field of connectomics is based ona more realistic brain representation, where neuronal populations of complex networks of corticaland subcortical areas interact with each other by both excitatory and inhibitory mechanisms.It shows that neuroimaging, like any other scientific area, is constantly evolving and ultimatelyit will prove its merits, even to the more conservative cognitive psychologists,” suggested Prof.Argyropoulou, outlining a means of finding a balance between the different approaches.The foundation course on neuroimaging will consist of 18 lectures, giving an overview of allrelevant aspects and will conclude with a self-assessment test.Preliminary Programme EdiciÓn Invierno | ECR 2013111

ns UpdateYour Skills(Practical Courses)The practical courses are the most practical teaching sessions availableat the ECR. The workshops provide interactive demonstrations and opportunitiesfor hands-on experience, usually preceded by a 90-minute lectureprogramme. Held in smaller groups than most other courses, these sessionsenable participants to pick up practical experience of certain equipmentand procedures, with expert guidance. Depending on the topic, workstations,technical equipment and life models are provided.The ‘Update Your Skills (Practical Courses)’ are an extremely valuableway to consolidate theoretical knowledge and discover some practicalpointers.They are usually repeated three to four times over three consecutivedays. The number of participants is restricted to a manageable amount toencourage successful learning and to enable discussion of individual requests.Participants need to register in advance and have to pay a fee of €50.129

Eur Radiol 2002; 12(6): 1550–1556.Gadovist® 1.0 mmol/mL solution for injection. Composition: 1 mL solution for injection contains 604.72 mg gadobutrol (equiv. 1.0 mmol) as active ingredient. Excipients: calcobutrol sodium, tromethamol, hydrochloric acid, water for injections. Indications: This medicinal product is for diagnostic use only. Gadovist® 1.0 is indicated in adults, adolescents,and children aged 2 years and older for: Contrast enhancement in cranial and spinal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), contrast enhanced MRI of liver or kidneys in patients with high suspicion or evidence of having focal lesions to classify these lesions as benign or malignant, contrast enhancement in magnetic resonance angiography (CE-MRA).Gadovist can also be used for MR imaging of pathologies of the whole body. It facilitates visualization of upnormal structures or lesions and helps in the differentiation between healthy and pathological tissue. Contraindications: Hypersensitivity to the active substance or any of the excipients. Special warnings and precautions for use: While injectingGadovist into veins with a small lumen there is the possibility of adverse effects such as reddening and swelling. The usual safety requirements for magnetic resonance imaging, especially the exclusion of ferromagnetic materials, also apply when using Gadovist. Hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylactoid reactions ranging to shock, have been observed afteradministration of Gadovist. To be able to react immediately to an emergency, medicinal products and equipment (e.g. endotracheal tube and respirator) should be within hand reach. Hypersensitivity reactions are not predictable, however in patients with an allergic disposition hypersensitivity may occur more often than in patients without such a disposition. In rare casesdelayed anaphylactoid reactions (after hours to days) have been observed. Severe cardiovascular disease: In patients with severe cardiovascular disease Gadovist should only be administered after careful risk benefit assessment because only limited data are available so far. Gadovist should be used with special care in patients: 1.) with known congenital long QT syndromeor a family history of congenital long QT syndrome; 2.) with known previous arrhythmias after taking medicinal products that prolong cardiac repolarisation; 3.) who are currently taking a medicinal product that is known to prolong cardiac repolarisation e.g. a Class III antiarrhythmic (e.g. amiodarone, sotalol). The possibility that Gadovist may cause torsade de pointesarrhythmias in an individual patient cannot be excluded. Hypokalemia: Gadovist should not be used in patients with uncorrected hypokalemia. Impaired renal function: Prior to administration of Gadovist, it is recommended that all patients are screened for renal dysfunction by obtaining laboratory tests. There have been reports of nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF)associated with use of some gadolinium-containing contrast agents in patients with acute or chronic severe renal impairment (GFR < 30 mL /min/1.73m 2 ). Patients undergoing liver transplantation are at particular risk since the incidence of acute renal failure is high in this group. As there is a possibility that NSF may occur with Gadovist, it should therefore only be usedin patients with severe renal impairment and in patients in the perioperative liver transplantation period after careful risk/benefit assessment and if the diagnostic information is essential and not available with non-contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Haemodialysis shortly after Gadovist administration may be useful at removing Gadovist from thebody. There is no evidence to support the initiation of haemodialysis for prevention or treatment of NSF in patients not already undergoing haemodialysis. Elderly: As the renal clearance of gadobutrol may be impaired in the elderly, it is particularly important to screen patients aged 65 years and older for renal dysfunction. Seizure disorders: Like with other gadoliniumcontaining contrast agents special precaution is necessary in patients with a low threshold for seizures. Undesirable effects: Following adverse reactions have been observed in clinical trials. Uncommon (≥ 1/1,000 to < 1/100): Headache, dizziness, paresthesia, dysgeusia, nausea, vasodilatation, injection site pain, injection site reaction. Rare (≥ 1/10,000 to < 1/1,000):Anaphylactoid reaction, parosmia, hypotension, dyspnoea, vomiting, urticaria, rash. Following additional adverse reactions have been reported from postmarketing spontaneous reporting: Rare (≥ 1/10,000 to < 1/1,000): Cardiac arrest, tachycardia, loss of consciousness, convulsion, conjunctivitis, eyelid oedema, respiratory arrest, bronchospasm, cyanosis,oropharyngeal swelling, cough, sneezing, face edema, hyperhidrosis, pruritus, erythema, circulatory collapse, flushing, feeling hot, malaise, anaphylactoid shock. Additional safety information: Short-lasting mild to moderate feelings of coldness, warmth or pain at the injection site have been uncommonly observed in association with the venous puncture orcontrast medium injection. On paravascular injection Gadovist may cause tissue pain lasting up to several minutes. Hypersensitivity reactions (e.g. urticaria, rash, vasodilatation) have been uncommonly reported and were mostly of mild to moderate intensity. In rare cases anaphylactoid reactions ranging to shock may occur. Delayed anaphylactoid reactions (after hoursto days) have been observed rarely. Patients with an allergic disposition suffer more frequently than others from hypersensitivity reactions. Isolated cases of renal impairment or renal impairment aggravation have been reported. Isolated cases of nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF) have been reported with Gadovist. Date of revision of text: July 2012.
