The purpose of this symposium is to highlight the integration of Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound (CEUS), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), and Computed Tomography (CT) in the characterization of liver incidental lesions. By analyzing the strengths and limitations of each imaging modality, the symposium aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of how these techniques can complement each other in clinical practice.
The event is structured into focused presentations that explore the role of each modality, alongside in-depth discussions on their respective advantages and challenges. Each presentation will be enriched with real-world case studies that demonstrate the practical applications of these imaging modalities in different clinical scenarios and their integration. Through collaborative discussions, the speakers Teresa Fontanilla, Asuncion Torregrosa, Maria Antonietta Bali, and the moderator Valerie Vilgrain will provide valuable insights into how integrating these methodologies can optimize diagnostic accuracy and enhance patient care. The symposium encourages interdisciplinary dialogue among radiologists and clinicians, fostering a collaborative approach to managing incidental findings.
Introduction
