Gastrointestinal Disease
Friday, October 3 · 7:00 am-12:35 pm
Part of the 3-Day Board Review
Course Directors: David A. Greenwald, MD, FACG and John F. Reinus, MD, FACG
Description:
Pathology and Imaging in the Evaluation of Gastrointestinal Disease includes four mini-sessions, each devoted to new developments and old problems of special interest to the clinical gastroenterologist in pathology and imaging in a specific portion of the GI tract. A popular biennial offering of the College, this year’s course expands the mini-session concept to include a combination lecture by a pathologist and a radiologist with the addition of endoscopic correlate images. The course faculty are recognized experts in their fields and pioneers in the development of new technologies and clinical paradigms.
Objectives:
At the conclusion of this program, participants will be able to:
- Describe current concepts relevant to radiology and pathology in the evaluation and treatment of patients with gastrointestinal disease.
- Evaluate findings of radiologic exams related to gastrointestinal disorders of the esophagus, stomach, small bowel, large intestine, liver, gall bladder and pancreas.
- Identify both basic and advanced pathology findings in patients with gastrointestinal illnesses through close examination of representative photomicrographs.
- Correlate typical radiology and pathology findings with endoscopic images reflective of both the normal and abnormal physiology and pathophysiology.
