A HIGH INDEX OF SUSPICION AND ASTUTE ASSESSMENT OF THE CLINICAL AND RADIOLOGIC SIGNS ARE PARAMOUNT TO LIMIT MORBIDITY AND MORTALITY. APPROPRIATE DISEASE STAGING AND CLASSIFICATION HELPS OPTIMUM TREATMENT AND MAXIMIZES OUTCOME. THIS COURSE WILL HAVE SPEAKERS WITH A RICH EXPERIENCE OF MANAGING ROCM. THE SPEAKERS WILL ELUCIDATE ON THE IMPORTANCE AND INTERPRETATION OF MR IMAGING, WITH CASE EXAMPLES, WHICH FORMS THE CORNERSTONE FOR MANAGEMENT.
