Session 1 - Friday, October 10
Emergency and Major Trauma: The Ideal Imaging Compromise
The trauma network: management algorithms, multidisciplinary teams and quality of pathways for timely and effective imaging.
Rational
Major trauma is one of the main causes of mortality and disability in the adult and young population, requiring rapid, coordinated and effective responses.
In this context, imaging plays a key role in defining the diagnosis and guiding therapeutic choices in extremely short times.
However, speed cannot be separated from accuracy, appropriateness and safety: hence the need to identify an ideal compromise between timeliness and quality.
This session aims to explore the path of the polytraumatized patient from the scene of the event to in-hospital management, outlining the organizational models, protocols and diagnostic tools that allow effective and multidisciplinary management.
The ABCDE algorithm will be explored as the cornerstone of primary and secondary clinical assessment, highlighting the key moment in which imaging intervenes in the decision-making process.
The speakers will address the role of diagnostic imaging in major trauma, distinguishing between first and second level tools, dedicated CT protocols (Body, Neuro) and the criteria for a correct choice of contrast medium in emergency contexts (trauma, stroke, vascular emergencies).
The intervention of the TSRM will highlight the quality indicators, the environmental variables and the importance of operational standardization in the pathways dedicated to trauma.
The session will be completed by a focus on the quality of the intra-hospital pathway through the experience of multidisciplinary improvement groups, with the aim of creating a dialogue between the different professional figures involved: doctors, TSRM, nurses, pharmacists and clinical coordinators.
This session aims to offer an integrated and updated vision of the management of major trauma, strengthening the awareness and interprofessional collaboration necessary to optimize time, resources and results.
Session 2 - Friday 10 October
The challenge of pediatric imaging in non-specialized facilities
Focus on adaptive protocols, artificial intelligence and low-dose methods to ensure quality care even in contexts with resources not specifically intended for infants, children and adolescents
Rational
Dealing with pediatric imaging in non-specialized facilities is a daily challenge for many imaging professionals.
This session was created to offer practical tools, food for thought and operational strategies to those who, while operating outside highly structured contexts, deal with pediatric patients in complex situations, often in urgency or emergency.
The session will be structured around five fundamental macro-themes: the management and mobilization of the small patient, the appropriate choice between X-ray and CT in relation to the clinical question, the optimization of the dose with personalized protocols, the psychological management of the child and the family, and the essential value of teamwork between TSRM, nurses and doctors.
Through a multidisciplinary comparison, the operational differences between specialized centers and peripheral contexts will be addressed, highlighting critical issues, good practices and virtuous examples.
The focus will be twofold: on the one hand, the pediatric patient and his/her protection through clinical-dosimetric appropriateness and relational empathy; on the other, the professional, who must act with awareness, sensitivity and competence, even in the absence of structured protocols or specialist support.
The session will see the participation of professionals with heterogeneous but complementary experiences: TSRM experts in protocol optimization, pediatric nurses, radiologists, psychologists and general practitioners, to offer a 360-degree vision of the dynamics that revolve around pediatric imaging.
This proposal intends to stimulate the active participation of all those colleagues who, although not working in dedicated pediatric environments, find themselves having to manage small patients with great responsibility and often with limited tools.
The aim is to promote awareness, knowledge and comparison, so that every child, wherever they are treated, receives the best possible imaging.
Session 3 - Saturday 11 October
Cardiovascular Imaging: There’s More Than Just the Coronary Arteries
A diagnostic evolution that goes beyond conventional cardiac CT, to explore new dynamic, predictive and personalized imaging tools, responding to the needs of internists and surgeons with advanced anatomical-functional evaluation models
Rational
Cardiac CT is now an essential diagnostic tool in the clinical pathway of the cardiovascular patient.
This session aims to explore its most advanced applications, going beyond the coronary study to embrace functional, valvular and structural areas.
The focus will be on the use of CT in the dynamic and morpho-functional evaluation of the myocardium (perfusion, delayed enhancement, cine CT), with insights into emerging techniques such as FFR-CT and retrospective reconstructions.
Particular attention will be paid to the role of Cardiac CT in the preoperative planning of valvular procedures (TAVI, TMVI), with discussion of acquisition strategies, contrast medium optimization, dose reduction and post processing techniques.
The topic will culminate with an in-depth look at three-dimensional applications, from segmentation to bio-prototyping, through augmented reality, with the aim of providing practical tools and operational skills to professionals with advanced skills.
Through an integrated approach between medical and technical figures, the session intends to enhance the strategic function of the TSRM in the management of complex cardiovascular imaging, laying the foundations for ever greater interdisciplinarity and technological innovation.
Session 4 - Saturday 11 October
Spectral Tomography: From Theory to Clinical Application
A paradigm shift: spectral tomography as a molecular magnifying glass, capable of providing not only anatomical, but also functional and metabolic information, anticipating the future of early diagnosis, personalising therapeutic pathways and reducing patient management costs
Rational
Spectral imaging represents one of the most relevant innovations in Computed Tomography in recent years. By integrating tissue characterization information with morphological data, spectral tomography adds functional value to conventional anatomical imaging, allowing for more precise diagnosis, greater customization of therapeutic pathways and potential optimization of patient management costs.
This session will take participants on a journey from the fundamentals of spectral imaging to its most current clinical applications. The physical principles underlying the technology, dosimetric aspects, the evolution of available hardware solutions and the different implementation approaches will be illustrated.
Ample space will be dedicated to the analysis of technical parameters and clinical cases, with the aim of concretely highlighting the added value that spectral tomography is able to offer today.
The aim is to provide a clear, updated and immediately applicable overview of a technology that is still not widespread in daily practice, but is now increasingly accessible thanks to recent innovations. An opportunity to go beyond morphological imaging, towards precision diagnostics.
