Hands-on stations
Three groups of five rotate through three stations for 70 minutes each. Two stations provide supervised scanning and one provides structured case interpretation. Models or recorded cases supplement teaching when the relevant pathology is unavailable.
Normal small bowel and terminal ileum: landmarks, image optimization and documentation
IBD activity assessment: wall thickness, Doppler and comparison with prior scans
Strictures, penetrating disease and follow-up: image interpretation and structured reporting
Teaching team
Each participant joins one crash course.
