The increasing use of novel imaging modalities is paralleling the growing discovery of focal liver lesions in otherwise asymptomatic patients. It is imperative that the pathological examination of incidentalomas is as accurate as possible to ensure correct diagnosis and adoption of treatment options.
This online course addresses the diagnosis and management of benign focal liver lesions. By using an evidence-based approach, the course tackles frequent findings, such as cysts, haemangiomas and focal nodular hyperplasia, as well as more rare findings. It describes the role of conventional and contrast-enhanced ultrasound and features clinical cases, that illustrate diagnostic and management issues that may be encountered.
Target audience
This course is suitable for all hepatologists, as well as radiologists, liver pathologists and any other healthcare professionals interested or involved in the diagnosis and management of focal liver lesions.
