Warm greetings to all viewers.
0:02
My name is Mahan Mathur.
0:03
I'm an associate professor of radiology
0:05
and biomedical imaging, the Yale School of Medicine.
0:09
This master course will cover imaging of renal transplants.
0:13
Now, as it turns out, ultrasound is the first line
0:16
and most often, the only line of imaging
0:19
needed to evaluate renal transplants.
0:21
And so, while some of this course will
0:23
cover CT and MR imaging, majority of it will focus on ultrasound imaging.
0:30
We'll start off by reviewing the normal
0:31
anatomy of the renal transplant, followed by the expected imaging
0:35
appearance in a variety of different clinical settings.
0:39
Now, after we've familiarized ourselves with the range of what normal real
0:44
transplants can look like, move on to complications,
0:47
both vascular complications and nonvascular complications.
0:51
Now, what I want you to remember is that the clinical presentations of these
0:55
may overlap and the imaging appearance of a lot of these complications may overlap.
0:59
Therefore, the timing of the presentation becomes very important.
1:03
And you couple that with some of the imaging findings,
1:05
that's what's going to allow you to make a narrow your differential diagnosis.
1:10
And in doing so, you're going to really
1:11
triage the patient into medical management versus surgical management, and so on.
1:17
Now, all in all, my hope is that this course will be
1:20
interesting, informative, and have a positive impact to radiology education.
