Palkó; Szeged/HUSession Objectives:1. To understand the importance of imaging diagnostics in the uniqueand challenging clinical setting of the intensive care units.2. To learn about the technical and methodological considerations to betaken into account with this patient group.3. To learn more about the most important conditions and the imagingfindings as well as the diagnostic imaging algorithms to be used inthe intensive care environment.16:05A-194 Value of MRI for intensive care coma patients withunclear brain pathologyP.C. Maly Sundgren; Lund/SELearning Objectives:1. To understand the importance of magnetic resonance imaging incases of unclear brain pathology causing severe dysfunction of thecentral nervous system.2. To understand the significance of imaging in the evaluation of brainfunction and potential outcome following anesthesia, injuries andhypoxia.3. To become familiar with the imaging signs and their predictive valueand accuracy regarding brain death, and future role of imaging indecisions concerning the termination of intensive treatment.16:23A-195 Computed tomography of pathologic lung conditionscomplicating intensive care treatmentC.M. Schaefer-Prokop; Amersfoort/NLLearning Objectives:1. To understand the spectrum of pathological lung conditions, whichcomplicate intensive care treatment.2.

To become familiar with the role and tasks of diagnostic ultrasoundversus point-of-care ultrasound in the most common pathologicconditions in intensive care.3. To learn more about typical ultrasound findings and theirsignificance in the diagnosis, differential diagnosis and therapy ofintensive care patients.16:59A-197 Imaging in polytraumaU. Linsenmaier; Munich/DELearning Objectives:1. To appreciate the clinical significance of conditions characterisedby multiple severe injuries and their systemic and multi-organcomplications.2. To explain the special role of imaging, the diagnostic algorithmand the technical, organisational and training requirements for thediagnosis and follow-up of polytrauma patients.3. To consolidate knowledge of imaging signs and symptoms and theirdiagnostic value in patients with polytrauma.Panel discussion:17:17 What training and special skills are radiologists expected tohave in order to work with intensive care units? How shouldwe manage the clinical and technical challenges posed by thisvery specific environment?172
