Speaker 1
Atherosclerotic carotid artery disease and beyond
Luca Saba, Cagliari/IT

Short Description

The talk “Atherosclerotic Carotid Artery Disease and Beyond” focuses on how our approach to treating and preventing strokes related to carotid arteries pathology has changed. In the past, we mainly looked at how narrow the carotid artery was to decide on treatment. This method is still used today. However, recent studies show that the features of the plaque in the carotid artery are also very important. These features can tell us more about the risk of having a stroke.

Thanks to better imaging technology, it is now possible to look more closely at these plaques. This lecture will talk about what these imaging techniques can do, what they can show us about the plaques, and their limits. It will also introduce new ways of classifying these plaques, like the Carotid Plaque RADS. This is a new system that helps understand and compare plaque features better and to stratify the risk using a simple model.

Learning Objectives

  • To identify the characteristics of plaque vulnerability
  • To define the imaging techniques and how such characteristics are visualized
  • To address the new classification systems
  • To define the reporting scheme that should be adopted according to the ESCR guidelines
  • To understand the limitations and future developments

Speaker 2
Acute aortic syndrome
Christian Loewe, Vienna/AT

 

Short Description

The term acute aortic syndrome summarizes different aortic diseases including acute aortic dissection and different subtypes as well as symptomatic aortic aneurysms. All these pathologies represent absolute emergent and potentially life threatening conditions, whereas urgent diagnosis and treatment decisions are crucial for patient’s survival. Consequently, Radiologist’s role in such situations is a central and essential one. We have to ensure fast and accurate diagnosis, we have to provide the relevant biomarkers for treatment decision making and treatment planning, and we have to take care of a clear and immediate communication of the essential informations.

After providing more generalized knowledge about the different pathological conditions, this webinar will focus on the most relevant practical aspects in a case based approach. Based on clinical cased, the optimized CT imaging strategy will be discussed as well as a focused and efficient approach for image analysis. Furthermore, recommendations will be provided about structure for the report in order to be able to communicate the essential information’s as fast as possible.

Learning Objectives

  • To become familiar with an optimized imaging protocol in patients suspected of suffering from an acute aortic syndrome
  • To learn about the different pathologies summarized under the term of acute aortic syndromes
  • To discuss a structured, step-by-step approach to emergency CT angiographies
  • To become familiar with the most important image based biomarkers for fast and accurate treatment decision making and treatment planning

CARDIOVASCULAR SCHOLARSHIP

Application

Application is open!
Deadline: March 18, 2024

More information

For more information on how to apply, please visit the ESOR website.

Aim

The ESOR Visiting Scholarship Programme (Europe) offers qualified trainees the opportunity to get to know another training environment and to kick off an interest for subspecialisation in radiology. During three months of training the scholars will be provided with a structured, modular introduction to different subspecialties and will be supervised by a specialised tutor in a pre-selected, highly esteemed academic training centre in Europe.

Eligibility

  1. These scholarships apply to residents in their 3rd, 4th or 5th year of training in radiology who desire to get the benefit of a mentored modular training of a specific subspecialised topic in radiology.
  2. Completion of the training curriculum from at least the first two years of residency is required, verified by the head of the department. Competence in producing a radiological report and communicating with clinicians and patients is appreciated, as well as knowledge of the principles of administration and management applied to a clinical department with multi-disciplinary staff and high-cost equipment.
  3. Previous exposure in any field of special interest, including basic knowledge of imaging methods, indications for imaging and clinical expectations, is advantageous.
  4. Applicants must be fluent in English.
  5. An active ESR membership is required. (To renew your ESR Membership or to become an ESR Member, please proceed to the ESR website.)

PLEASE NOTE:

  •  Applicants who were selected for this programme or the Visiting Scholarship Programme USA in the past cannot be considered again.
  • It will be possible to apply for one programme and within this programme for one topic only.
  • As the very baseline of this programme is to gain experience abroad in another training environment, applicants will only be able to apply to institutions outside of their country of residence (no exceptions will be made).
  • The selected candiate must be a radiology resident at the time of the scholarship.
  • The selected candidates will be asked to provide additional documents to the training centre for administrative purposes.
  • A valid Covid-19 vaccination certificate will be required by most hospitals.
  • The selected scholars are further asked to take care of their health insurance and are responsible for their visa for which they should apply well in time because of longer waiting periods.
  • All applications will be carefully reviewed by an evaluation committee after the submission deadline.

Duration of scholarships and funding

The training will start in the second half of the year in accordance with the training center and last for three months. The scholarship must be completed by the end of 2023. The scholar will receive a grant (€3.500,-) upon completion of the training, delivery of a final report and submission of original flight tickets and accommodation receipts. The grant is intended to contribute in part to travel and accommodation expenses during the training period. ESOR cannot guarantee that the grant will cover these costs in full. During the period of the training the scholar is responsible for covering his/her expenses and his/her own health insurance. The training itself is offered for free. Please note that in particular cases administrative charges may arise, which are to be covered by the grant.

Programme structure

The trainee will have the opportunity to follow and participate in the core knowledge training programme through tutorials and lectures, followed by hands-on teaching on routine clinical cases and/or modality techniques and protocols, led by an assigned tutor.

In non-native English speaking training centres teaching would be in English, while major radiological conferences and reporting may be in the local language. Some knowledge of the local language may be an advantage.

The trainee will be able to observe clinical activities, but will not have direct patient care responsibilities.

It is the trainee’s responsibility to communicate with the centre regarding the details of the training and whether more responsibilities than observer status can be obtained. ESOR solely acts as facilitator and coordinator between the training centre and the trainee.

Aim

Recent advances in CT and MR technology and clinical research have rapidly expanded the range of applications of these imaging modalities, particularly in imaging of the heart.

The need to sufficiently qualify further young radiologists to render confident diagnosis in cardiovascular radiology using multi-detector CT and MRI studies, led the European Society of Radiology (ESR) and the European Society of Cardiovascular Radiology (ESCR) to take the initiative in establishing an exchange programme for fellowships or subspecialisation training in cardiovascular radiology.

It offers an opportunity to complement subspecialisation training in cardiovascular radiology or an existing structured fellowship programme, through exchange, in this field of radiology. Through three months of training the trainee will be provided with intense modular training in cardiovascular radiology and will be supervised by a specialised tutor in a pre-selected, highly esteemed, academic training centre in Europe.

Number of available places

Four places will be offered and organised through ESOR. The successful applicants will received a grant jointly provided by ESR/ESOR and ESCR.

Eligibility

  1. The programme applies to radiologists within the first three-four years after certification, who desire to become subspecialist radiologists.
  2. Basic knowledge of current clinical practice in radiology with regard to CT and MRI. Competence in producing a radiological report, in communication with clinicians and patients, and knowledge of the principles of administration and management applied to a clinical department with multi-disciplinary staff and high-cost equipment is essential. Understanding the medicolegal implications of uncertainty and errors in diagnostic radiology is necessary. A clinical background in other disciplines, which has been achieved through clinical experience and training prior to entering the fellowship. Clinical experience in cardiology, angiology or cardiovascular surgery is advantageous.
  3. Applicants must be proficient in English.
  4. Active ESR and ESCR membership fee is required.
PLEASE NOTE:
  • Applicants who were selected for this programme in the past cannot be considered for a second time.
  • It will be possible to apply for one programme and within this programme for one topic only.
  • To ensure equal opportunities candidates should apply only to institutions outside of their country of residence/work.
