09.20 - 09.30 Welcome Liver and Vascular Session - Prof. Paul SidhuA welcome and short introduction over coffee and pastries with an overview of the programme. The 2-day programme will be reviewed and social events detailed. 09.30 - 10.00 Introduction to CEUS - Prof. Martin KrixTechnical and clinical basis o CEUS for application in daily practice.
10.00 - 10.20 EFSUMB CEUS Liver Guidelines - Prof. David CosgroveThe evolving CEUS Guidelines are introduced with the mechanism of production explained, in particular the enormous effort that goes into producing these guidelines by a large group of experts.
10.20 - 10.40 Malignant Focal Liver Lesions - Dr. Hans-Peter WeskottMalignant focal liver lesions: B-mode, colour Doppler imaging and contrast enhanced ultrasound criteria, typicalcases will be presented.
10.40 - 11.00 Hepatocellular Carcinoma: Current Imaging Guidelines - Prof. Fabio PiscagliaUltrasonography is the recommended method of surveillance in patients with cirrhosis for early diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), occuring in 2-5% per year. CEUS is able to display the internal vascularization ofany nodules, leading to the ability to establish a diagnosis of HCC, achievable in the same patient session. Moreover,when the conclusive typical findings of HCC are not present, CEUS has superb ability to suggest that a nodule is benign or malignant. The lecture will illustrate how to correctly obtained interpret CEUS information for focal lesionin cirrhosis.
11.00 - 11.20 Break
11.20 - 11.50 Benign Focal Liver Lesions - Dr. Hans-Peter WeskottBenign focal liver lesions: B-mode, colour Doppler imaging and contrast ehanced ultrasound CEUS criteria, typicalcases will be presented.
11.50 - 12.20 Potential Conundrums of Hypervascular Lesions - Prof. Adrian LimThe potential pitfalls in characterising the hypervascular lesion, particularly in patients with a background of known malignancy or significant chronic liver disease will be discussed.
12.20 - 12.40 Imaging Management of Incidental Focal Liver Lesions - Dr. Suzanne RyanThe evaluation of the focal liver lesion, both benign and malignant will be discussed, with particular emphasis on the ‘problem’ solving imaging technique.

12.40 - 14.00 Lunch
14.00 - 14.20 NICE guidelines on CEUS Liver - Dr James PilcherThe National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) have issued two sets of guidelines on the use ofCEUS in liver lesions; the clinical usefulness and position in the imaging pathway, and also implementation advice.
14.20 - 14.40 Liver Transplantation - Prof. Paul SidhuThe role of CEUS in the pre- and post-transplant patient will be discussed with emphasis on vascular complications.
14.40 - 15.00 Liver abscesses and collections - Dr Gibran Tim YusufThe ultrasound diagnosis of an abscess may be difficult with varying B-mode appearances; CEUS clearly demonstrates the ‘liquid centre’. Additionally intra-cavity CEUS plays a role in the assessment of the interna archi-tecture of an abscess.
15.00 - 15.20 Gallbladder and Biliary Disease - Dr Hans-Peter WeskottInflammatory changes of the gallbladder wall, benign and malignant tumors, contrast enhanced ultrasound in bile duct pathology.
15.20 - 15.40 Quantitative Measurement: Techniques and Challenges - Dr Robert EckersleyA discussion of the potential and limitations of contrast enhanced ultrasound imaging for quantitative measurement of blood flow. Particular attention will be paid to practical approaches and the avoidance of common pitfalls.
15.40 - 16.00 Break
16.00 - 16.30 Aorta and EVAR - Prof. Dirk-Andre ClevertCEUS plays an important role in the assessment of aortic disease particular in the detection of complications followingEVAR procedures.
16.30 - 17.00 Carotid Disease - Prof. Dirk-Andre ClevertThe early usefulness of CEUS in the assessment of vessel narrowing has been documented, with further advances inplaque neo-vascularization stratifying risk factors.
17.00 - 17.30 Interesting Cases: an interactive quiz - Whole faculty
19.30 - 22.30 Course Dinner

09.00 - 09.20 Registration and Welcome & Non-hepatic session - Prof. Paul Sidhu
09.20 - 09.40 CEUS Non-Liver Guidelines - Dr Vito CantisaniEFSUMB guidelines and recommendations on CEUS non-liver applications; the many areas where the usefulness has been pioneered by European based researchers.
09. 40 - 10.00 Legal aspects: using CEUS off license - Prof Paul SidhuThis lecture will demonstrate the standing in legal terms for the use of medicines ‘off label’ in the adult population,with extrapolation to the child. Evidence based findings, regulatory view, and the legal aspect will be discussed.
10.00 - 10.20 Renal disease: technique and quantification - Dr Konrad Friedrich StockHow to perform CEUS of the kidney and how to quanitfy and document kidney perfusion.
10.20 - 10.50 Renal Disease: solid and cystic lesions - Dr Christopher HarveyContrast-enhanced US can accurately characterise indeterminate renal lesions, solid lesions, complex cysts and focalinflammatory lesions with no nephrotoxicity. CEUS is excellent for assessing the microcirculation of kidneys.
10.50 - 11.10 Renal Disease: transplantation - Dr Konrad Friedrich StockDifferent fields of CEUS-application for kidney transplants as applied directly to clinical practice.
11.10 - 11.30 Break
11.30 - 12.00 Pancreas: Tumour and inflammation - Prof. Mirko D’OnofrioCEUS can improve the diagnosis of pancreatic diseases during the ultrasound study. CEUS can characterize pancreatic neplasms immediately after the detection during the ultrasound examination allowing a better management of pancreatic tumors.
12.00 - 12.30 Salivary Glands and Thyroid - Dr Vito CantisaniCurrent update knowledge, limitations and perspectives on CEUS for salivary, parathyroid and thyroid lesion characterisation.
12.30 - 12.50 Testis: Tumours and Inflammation - Dr Dean HuangTo illustrate the usefulness of CEUS in improving diagnostic confidence for testicular pathology, in particular in thecontext of characterising vascularity and confirming benignity.
