Description

This new edition of the Liver Imaging Course offers a fully interactive, case-based format designed to immerse participants in the real-world diagnostic process of liver imaging. Structured as a virtual reading-room experience, the course minimizes traditional lectures and focuses almost entirely on interpreting, discussing, and learning from clinical cases.

Cases will be carefully selected and categorized as typical, atypical, and challenging, allowing participants to progressively refine their diagnostic approach and confidence across the full spectrum of cirrhotic liver imaging.

Each session begins with the live presentation of selected cases, during which participants will actively describe findings, propose differential diagnoses, and work toward a final conclusion. After each case discussion, a concise 1–2-slide summary will highlight key diagnostic points, underlying pathology, and relevant imaging criteria.

Participants are encouraged to take an active role in the case discussions. Although not mandatory, active involvement helps foster a collegial, small-group learning environment. Everyone will be invited to contribute, and participation will be rotated fairly to ensure that all attendees who wish to take part have the opportunity to do so.

The course will cover:
• CT and MR protocols for liver imaging, including common pitfalls
• The cirrhotic liver: morphology and imaging features
• Mimickers of cirrhosis
• The LI-RADS classification
• Focal lesions in the cirrhotic liver

These topics will not be taught through frontal lectures but will instead be integrated into interactive, case-based discussions and reinforced through practical imaging examples.

By the end of this course, participants will have enhanced their ability to systematically approach liver imaging in cirrhotic patients, strengthened their confidence in interpreting CT and MRI findings, and gained practical expertise in applying LI-RADS in routine clinical reporting.


CME accreditation
This radiology course is organised by Unilabs Academy, an EACCME Trusted Provider. An application has been made to the UEMS/EBR for CME accreditation for this event.


Learning Objectives
  • Confidently characterize and manage focal lesions in the cirrhotic liver
  • Recognize imaging features and mimickers of cirrhosis
  • Apply the LI-RADS classification effectively in daily clinical practice and reporting
Programme will include
  • End-of-day Kahoot quizzes to reinforce key learning points
  • Pre-course access to a curated set of liver imaging cases in DICOM format, which will be reviewed and discussed together during the final session
  • Interactive case-based learning — explore real-life examples of focal lesions in the cirrhotic liver and mimickers of cirrhosis
  • Hands-on interpretation — analyze and report individual cases in a guided, step-by-step format
  • Engaging group discussions — share insights and reasoning with peers under expert mentorship
  • Direct Q&A with the radiologist mentor — obtain practical answers and tips from an experienced specialist
  • Comprehensive resources — access all presentation slides, recorded sessions, and supplementary materials
