Ben Spilseth, Associate Professor of Radiology at the University of Minnesota, teaches the basics of MR Enterography, with a focus on Crohn’s Disease. Learn why and when to do MR Enterography, especially in relation to Crohn’s. Dr. Spilseth reviews the findings one would be expected to identify and report in Crohn’s Disease cases. By the end of this course, you should be able to build a strong report that will provide value to any referring Gastroenterologist.
After completing this course, you will be better able to:
- Apply appropriate search patterns to ensure high quality case assessment
- Identify key anatomical landmarks, variations, and abnormalities on imaging
- Accurately interpret advanced imaging cases
- Formulate definitive diagnoses and limited differentials
