11th ESGAR Hands-on Workshop on CT Colonography

Group 1: September 17- 18, 2009; Group 2: September 18-19, 2009. The same workshop program will be offered on both dates! CT colonography (CTC) has been proven to be a viable alternative to double contrast barium enema and colonoscopy in symptomatic patients. Performance and especially the evaluation of CTC require specific knowledge and skills. The workshops are specifically aimed at providing practical skills and information, both for those considering starting CTC at their institution as well as for experienced individuals. The workshop formats include "How I do it" presentations, presentations on new developments (bowel tagging, image processing), discussion sessions, and hands-on training on workstations by international experts. Workstations of several vendors are available, giving the possibility to obtain experience with different workstations.
