Imaging Adult Sarcomas

Dr. Michel Kind, a renowned radiologist at the Bordeaux Cancer Center in France, presents a comprehensive and practical course on musculoskeletal sarcomas in adults, tailored to address the pivotal role radiologists, radiologist assistants, and radiologic technologists play in their accurate diagnosis and management. Designed to close the knowledge gap in sarcoma care, this course combines theoretical foundations with hands-on practical insights, empowering participants to enhance diagnostic accuracy and patient outcomes. Participants will explore key topics, including tumor classifications, imaging techniques, biopsy procedures, and actionable strategies for addressing the challenges associated with these rare and aggressive tumors.

Structured into four chapters, the course delves into essential aspects of sarcoma management, including epidemiology, histopathological and molecular classifications, imaging modalities, and therapeutic principles. A unique highlight of Chapter 3 is an exclusive live demonstration of a biopsy procedure on a real patient, led by Dr. Pauline Ledoux, offering step-by-step guidance on planning, trajectory selection, and ensuring patient safety while minimizing risks. Additionally, the course emphasizes imaging modalities, case-based learning, and multidisciplinary collaboration, equipping radiologists, radiologist assistants, and radiologic technologists with the tools needed to confidently manage complex sarcoma cases.

Special attention is given to addressing the significant gaps in treatment adherence to established European guidelines, highlighting the need for radiological expertise in early diagnosis and management. Dr. Kind collaborates with experts such as Dr. Amandine Crombe and Dr. Pauline Ledoux to integrate the latest advancements, including molecular grading and MRI-based necrosis evaluation. By the conclusion, participants will gain an in-depth understanding of musculoskeletal sarcomas and be equipped to integrate cutting-edge diagnostic techniques and best practices into clinical workflows, ultimately improving patient care and outcomes.
