Kursens syfte To describe the various imaging modalities used in the field of oncology, how multi modality imaging can be used to predict and assess treatment response and to describe how standardized interpretation of oncological imaging is performed in research, clinical trials and in individual patient care using existing standards such as PIRADS, RECIST, WHO and other criteria.
Kursens lärandemål At the end of the course, the student is expected to (1) understand the basics of imaging methods and multi modality assessment in oncological imaging, (2) understand advantages and limitations of different imaging techniques (3) describe how to use diagnostic imaging in an oncological research project plan
Kursens innehåll This course covers both pre-clinical and clinical aspects of oncological imaging. The student will be introduced to basic diagnostic modalities, cancer histopathology, molecular diagnostics and clinical implementations. Principle strategies for planning, performing and monitoring of cancer will be addressed. A final goal is that the students will be able to formulate a translational project of oncological imaging related to their own research fields.
Arbetsformer The course will include a series of learning activities, such as introductory and comprehensive lectures/seminars, group discussions and case-studies.
Obligatoriska moment Attendance to all the activities of the course and the individual presentation of a research proposal are mandatory. Absence from mandatory parts of the course will be compensated by other activities after discussion with the course organisers.
Examination The course assignment will consist on writing an individual short project (max 1 and ½ half page) where one or more imaging techniques learnt during the course should be applied to a research topic that interests the student. The project description should be handed in maximum three weeks after the completion of the course to the organizers via email.
Kurslitteratur och övriga läromedel The students will be provided with relevant literature (review articles, original publications, references to book chapters).
Antal studenter 8 - 25
Urval av studenter Selection will be based on 1) the relevance of the course syllabus for the applicant's doctoral project (according to written motivation), 2) date for registration as a doctoral student (priority given to earlier registration date)
Övrig information The course is a joint course with the National Clinical Oncology research school NatiON and will be held at the Department of Diagnostic Radiology, Karolinska University Hospital, Solna. More information will be provided to the students in due time, before the beginning of the course.
