Course Description

Join Dr. David Yousem, Dr. Stephen Pomeranz, Dr. Rajan Jain, and Dr. Soonmee Cha as they provide the essentials of brain tumor imaging, including the key anatomical landmarks, effective search patterns, and methods for formulating accurate diagnoses. This course also includes a review of the 2021 WHO CNS Tumor Classification and its relevance and importance to imaging and radiologists.

Through a comprehensive case review, learn Dr. Pomeranz’s approach to interpreting meningiomas and non-glial tumors.

Explore the latest updates with Dr. Cha as she reviews the 2021 WHO CNS Tumor Classification, which incorporates molecular and genetic profiles alongside histology and immunohistochemistry to improve tumor classification and prognostication. She also provides an overview of adult and pediatric brain imaging techniques, including structural and advanced physiologic imaging methods.

Gain confidence assessing gliomas alongside Dr. Jain and Dr. Yousem as they walk through the appearance of different types of gliomas, as well as their approach to tumor mimics and non neoplastic lesions.

Optimize your learning:

Test Yourself - Before starting the video, launch the DICOM study and complete your independent review of the case in our diagnostic web viewer.
Review at your own pace - Reminder to utilize the video player features to speed up or slow down the video, pause or rewind to best fit your available time and learning needs.
Read alongside Expert Faculty - Keep the DICOM study open while you watch expert faculty review the cases. We suggest popping the DICOM viewer open in a new window and viewing side by side with the video on your screen.

This course was developed with help from Jarunee Intrapiromkul, MD.
