     At the end of this course, participants will be able to:

• Recognize imaging aspects that support the prediction of benignity and malignancy in focal lung lesions, as well as know and apply the guidelines on which current management suggestions are based;
• To understand the applicability and limitations of image-guided invasive diagnosis in lesions suspicious for neoplasia, as well as to review the imaging staging of pulmonary neoplastic lesions;
• Understand the role of the radiologist in planning pulmonary surgical interventions;
• To know the main modalities of drug treatment and radiotherapy, as well as their main imaging complications.

The concepts involved in the investigation, management and treatment of lung neoplasms and their interface with diagnostic imaging will be reviewed.

These aspects will be covered using short lectures and discussions of cases selected by radiologists and thoracic surgeons.

The lessons (knowledge pills) will be made available in advance on the event platform and the pre-selected cases will be discussed live.
