To know about the appropriate imaging algorithm for the detectionof biliary complications after liver transplantation.2. To become familiar with the techniques of interventional treatmentof biliary complications after liver transplantion.3. To understand the results and complications in comparison withsurgical management.16:51A-342 C. In tandem with endoscopyD.F. Martin; Manchester/UKLearning Objectives:1. To be aware of the indications for tandem use of percutaneous andendoscopic approach.2. To learn the tips and tricks of tandem technique.3. To learn about the results and complications of tandem treatment.Panel discussion:17:14 Are there new possibilities in the area of biliary interventions?16:00–17:30 Room PRadiographersRC 1114 Hot topics in magnetic resonanceimagingModerators: K. Haller; Wiener Neustadt/AT, L. Martí-Bonmatí; Valencia/ES16:00A-343 A. New trends in MR safetyP. Bauer; Vienna/ATLearning Objectives:1. To become familiar with the standard MRI safety measures (metalcheck and SAR limits).2. To understand the new challenges for MRI safety given thetechnological advances in high-field magnets, faster gradients coils,hybrid MR imaging and new contrast agents.3. To learn about updated MRI safety guidelines with reference torecent literature, white papers and accredited MRI safety websites.4. To appreciate the MRI safety implications for pregnant women,neonates and the general paediatric population.16:30A-344 B. MR spectroscopy: the role of radiographers in dataoptimisationJ. McNulty; Dublin/IELearning Objectives:1. To learn about the basic principles of MR spectroscopy contrastingthem to the basic principles of MR imaging.2. To understand the benefits of using MRS in clinical practice.3. To appreciate how image quality is defined in MRS, to highlight theparameters which affect image quality in MRS and how these can bemodified by the radiographer.4. To become familiar with examples of common MRS artefacts andhow these can be corrected by the radiographer.17:00A-345 C. Challenges and opportunities in paediatric MRV. Syrgiamiotis; Athens/GRLearning Objectives:1. To learn about the basic anatomical/physiological differences withinthe paediatric population, contrasting it with the general adultpopulation.2. To understand the MRI scan parameter modifications required toaccommodate these differences and their trade-offs.3. To become familiar with examples of improved, optimised imagingprotocols against standard, preset, commercially available adultimaging protocols.4. To consolidate knowledge on the optimal use of equipment to achievea successful and clinically useful paediatric MRI exam.186
