How does body composition affect patients' quality of life and survival?
Christian Krestan, Wien / Austria
- To learn how body composition data can be derived from retrospective and prospective scans in a radiology department.
- To appreciate the representability of body composition parameters such as skeletal muscle area (SMA), subcutaneous adipose tissue area (SAT), and visceral adipose tissue area (VAT) for quality of life and survival.
- To understand how body composition affects quality of life and survival in cancer and non-cancer patients.

Danoob Dalili, Oxford / United Kingdom
- To learn the current role of image-guided interventions in treating fragility fractures.
- To appreciate patients' benefits from early intervention and management.
- To understand current guidelines in the UK, Europe and the USA and how to implement them in day-to-day practice.
