In this session, we will review benign colon tumours and consider the key investigations to help you identify the characteristic appearances of the different pathologies.
Anomalies and Anatomic Variants of the Liver
Simon Jackson
0.25 Hours
During this session you will learn about the different anatomical variants and anomalies of the liver using a range of interactive exercises. A knowledge of the topic is important as these variants are commonly misinterpreted during routine imaging studies and may simulate pathology.
