Rectal Cancer Staging: A Competency-based Assessment of MR Imaging Proficiency
With a focus on staging and restaging imaging with an emphasis on MR for curable disease by radical surgery, this course has been designed specifically to enhance your knowledge and increase your competence to improve the quality of rectal MRI. Based on 22 recently-released Standards from the National Accreditation Program for Rectal Cancer (NAPRC), radiologists are guided through, and actively engage in simulated training to ensure quality and consistency in the application of protocols for rectal MR performance, interpretation, reporting and multidisciplinary team care.
