Episode Three: Miscellaneous Cancers
CASE 1 FREE PREVIEW ONLY: This program is a “Pay To View” program. To view the entire episode and obtain CME credits you must first purchase the program. Once purchased links will be provided from within your “MyAR Archives” page for access to the program and the online exam to earn CME credit.
Program Summary:
In this episode, Dr. Semelka reviews cases of cervical, renal cell and pancreatic cancers. Additional review includes carcinoid tumors, hepatocellular carcinoma, and ovarian dermoid cysts.
Case 1: Cervical Cancer. This case illustrates MR findings of large cervical cancer in female pelvis. MRI can provide valuable information for local extent of cervical cancer and existence of lymph node and bone metastasis. (FREE Preview Available)
Case 2: Carcinoid Tumor (Multi Organ Disease Involvement). This case illustrates carcinoid tumors in mesentery, liver, and bones. MRI can demonstrate full informations for primary tumor and metastases.
Case 3: Hepatocell Carcinoma. This case illustrates typical MR findings of the hepatocellular carcinoma in liver. We also show the importance of correct timing of contrast enhancement for diagnosing the hepatocellular carcinoma.
Case 4: Acute Pancreatis with Motion Resistance Protocol. This case illustrates MR findings of acute moderate pancreatitis. We also show a nice example of motion resistant protocol in a noncooperative patient.
Case 5: Renal Cell Cancer. This case illustrates a nice example of small renal cell carcinoma on 3T MRI. We can also show MR urography on 3T MRI.
Case 6: Pancreatic Cancer (Pancreatic Cancer with Liver Metastisis). This case illustrates MR findings of small pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma with liver metastases. We discuss value of MR imaging for diagnosing pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.
Case 7: Ovarian Dermonid Cyst. This case illustrates a dermoid tumor in female pelvis. Both T1WI and T2WI with and without fat suppression can provide fat information within dermoid tumor
Approximate Run Time: 70 Minutes
