1) Achieve a basic understanding of the hepatobiliary anatomy and imaging appearance of heopatic tumors 2) Understand strengths and limitations of imaging techniques, including MRI, PET-CT and CT, as they are used in delineating primary tumor and loco-regional staging 3) Identify common sites of recurrence for hepatic tumors and recognize the imaging appearances of these recurrences 4) Improve radiation therapy delivery through understanding the contouring recommendations for the gross tumor volume (GTV) and clinical target volumes (CTV) for hepatic tumors, both in the locally advanced and postoperative setting  

In this course MRI will be used to contour normal hepatic anatomy as well as tumors involving this anatomical region. Also patterns of spread to adjacent lymph nodes will be shown, and cross sectional imaging will be used to contour the regional nodal lesions. Cases will be presented and the participants will be stimulated to do the contouring themselves, and will have feed-back on their results
