This course will provide interactive teaching from expert faculty in prostate MRI reading and interpretation and help urologists to understand the role MRI plays in the management of patients with prostate cancer and how to use the information generated by prostate MRI. The course will address how to use an imaging workstation, how to understand the basic concepts/principles behind different MRI sequences (T2-weighted imaging, DWI-imaging and DCE-imaging), in which order to view the different sequences when interpreting prostate MRI, how to use the PI-RADS scoring system to score MRIs, and finally to understand what are the standards for a prostate MRI and what quality criteria need to be fulfilled. The participants will do hands on reading and assessment of prostate MRI scans at a computer station. This course provides training in PET imaging for prostate cancer with an emphasis on PSMA. The course aims to help participants understand the role PET imaging plays in the management of patients with prostate cancer and how to interpret the images. The training addresses how prostate PET imaging works, what different racers might be used for prostate cancer, and how to use the information generated by PET (i.e. in clinical decision making or modifying management of patients). The course will cover initial staging, staging at recurrence, and the use of PET imaging for radioligand treatment. The current limitations and pitfalls of PET imaging will be critically assessed and discussed. This course is designed to provide a comprehensive overview of office based transperineal (TP) biopsy techniques in local anaesthesia. It includes the integration of MRI fusion technology into daily clinical practice. Participants will begin with an introduction to the importance of TP biopsy and detailed instructions on performing the procedure by themself. The hands-on training sessions are the core of the course, where participants will practice basic perineal biopsy techniques using probes, local anaesthesia administration, targeting, and biopsy execution You can add a training as an extra to your existing or new registration via the online registration page.
