Hepatobiliary for the MSRA
Summary
This teaching session will provide an introduction to hepatobiliary imaging for medical professionals focused on understanding the role of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in accurately diagnosing and treating disorders of the liver, gallbladder and bile ducts. It will provide an up-to-date review of the physiology and cellular physiology of the hepatobiliary system, relevant anatomy for MRI imaging, and practical methods and strategies to accurately interpret imaging studies. Additionally, the session will allow for an interactive discussion of clinical cases and results. Attendees will leave with an improved understanding of how to use MRI to diagnose hepatobiliary pathologies more accurately and effectively.
