• Understand the latest classification of brain tumors (who 2021);
• To identify the main imaging findings and differential diagnoses of pediatric diffuse high-grade gliomas;
• To identify the main imaging findings and differential diagnoses of pediatric diffuse low-grade gliomas;
•  Identify the main imaging findings and differential diagnoses of choroid plexus tumors;
• Identify the main imaging findings and differential diagnoses of posterior fossa tumors;
•  Identify the main imaging findings and understand the importance of molecular evaluation of medulloblastomas;
•  To identify the main imaging findings and differential diagnoses of non-medulloblastoma embryonal tumors;
• Identify the main imaging findings and differential diagnoses of lymphoid and hamatopoietic tumors;
•  Identify the main imaging findings of ependymomas.

The course will take a practical approach through the live discussion of clinical cases, tutored by experts in the field.

Eleven pre-lectures will be made available on the cbr platform, which should be watched before the course in order to get the most out of the case discussions.

The course will be based on the latest update on the classification of brain tumors (who 2021).

After this course, participants should be able to:

• Identify the imaging findings of the main brain tumors in children;
• Knowing how to assess supratentorial tumors in children using imaging;

They will also see how important molecular studies are in this classification and what to expect from the new classification (who 2026).
