Description
CT colonography is a noninvasive examination of the entire colon for the detection of colorectal neoplasia. Dedicated training in performing and analyzing the examination is vital for successfully implementing CTC in clinical practice.
This online workshop features an international expert faculty of speakers who will provide a comprehensive coverage of all relevant aspects of CT colonography in a new interactive teaching format.
The course format will include state-of-the-art didactic lectures, interactive case-based discussions, and Q & A sessions.
We are pleased to announce that this workshop includes the evaluation of complete CTC DICOM patient cases by using a cloud-based CTC software solution (Siemens SmartSimulator) on the participants and the presenter’s personal computer.
