DIW16: Iron Overload Cardiac & Liver
 

Date & Time: February, 25, 2016, Thur 08:00-12:00

Venue:  King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Centre, Radiology conference room
Coordinator: Ahmad Masawi, MSc, Department of Radiology, KFSH&RC, Pager: 49619

Workshop Faculty:
Dr. Ahmed Fathallah, , Dr. Metab Alkubeyyer, Abdullah Al-Basher

Target Audience :
  • Diagnostic Radiologists
  • Hepatologists / Gastro-enterologists
  • Radiology Fellows and senior residents
  • MRI Technologists

Prerequisites:  Previous MRI experience, Laptop

Workshop Description:

This workshop is intended to demonstrate the available methods to quantify the amount of iron deposited in the liver and myocardium without resorting to invasive methods that have been in practice previously. This will focus on acquisition protocols and post-processing analysis and will also demonstrate the method of obtaining normal datasets for reference. For cardiac iron quantification Dr. Ahmed Fathallah will talk about 45 min before the workshop. Then, Dr. Metab Alkubeyyer will present a lecture about quantification of iron in liver for 45 min.


Learning Objectives:

Upon completion of this course, attendees should be able to:

  1. Understand the various methods in use for the calculation of iron load in the liver and myocardium.
  2. Understand the special requirements for this examination e.g. lead position and patient position.
  3. Describe in detail imaging protocol and mandatory sequences.
