Presentation

Review course on the latest advances in oncological body imaging, with several case-based sessions. The role of advanced imaging in lung cancer, pleural, mediastinal and chest wall tumors will be reviewed. Additionally, the role of MRI in abdominal and pelvic malignancies will be discussed, with a focus on the practical implementation of radiomics and AI-based solutions. Finally, the role of CT and MRI in the evaluation of tumor response of body tumors will be widely enhanced.

All of this, taught by top-level faculty from several of the main academic centers in the USA (Mayo Clinic, Boston Medical Center, MD Anderson Cancer Center, Duke University, New York University and University of Wisconsin) complemented by other leading European lecturers.
