Ordering the right abdominal CT study for cancer staging

Some cancer types, such as pancreas adenocarcinoma or renal cell carcinoma, require a multiphasic CT study for staging. This video explains why it's important to review both the late arterial phase and the portal venous phase for some cancers.

You see abdominal CTs every day. Yet you probably haven’t been formally trained in how to interpret and navigate the viewing software. In this course, you will learn to speak like a radiologist, use a PACS viewer, and choose the right study for a variety of indications. You will also learn how to assess each abdominal organ in a systematic way. We’ll also cover other structures in abdominal CT such as vessels, bones, and lymph nodes.

Read abdominal CT like an open book. Master indications, terminology, software, and develop a systemic search pattern.
