Emerging Trends in Liver Imaging
September 8 – 9, 2012
Emory Conference Center Hotel, Atlanta, GA

Course Directors
Jorge A. Marrero, MD; Jayant A. Talwalkar, MD, MPH; Jeffrey C. Weinreb, MD, FACR; and Claude B. Sirlin, MD

Description
The Emerging Trends Conference (ETC) is AASLD's most flexible and forward-thinking educational program -- what's happening in hepatology right now and what does it mean for the future?

This year's ETC is a clinical course on the imaging of liver diseases and tumors. Reaching across disciplines, it's a unique collaboration between expert hepatologists and radiologists that you won't find anywhere else.

Goals and Objectives

Delineate and appraise state-of-the-art and emerging imaging techniques that may facilitate diagnosis, management, and research
Identify key knowledge gaps in imaging of hepatocellular carcinoma and chronic liver disease
Foster interdisciplinary collaboration to advance research and clinical care
