as well as cortical contusion, intraparenchymal haematoma and diffuse axonal injury (intra-axial hemorrhage) will be discussed. Conventional MRI sequences are less sensitive than CT in detection of hyperacute intracranial bleeding. However, FLAIR techniques are capable to detect even small amount of extravasated blood. Susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) is mandatory in evaluation of microhaemorrhages; together with DWI they play an important role in diagnosis of axonal injury. Traumatic injury of spinal cord (SCI) in majority of cases results with devastating medical and social consequences. MR examination is the imaging modality of choice in such patients. It enables the clear assessment of lesion morphology, extent and severity of trauma. To interpret MR images properly, we have to be familiar with mechanisms of spinal cord injury which are presented in this lecture. For optimal characterisation of SCI one has to start with estimation of canal compromise and the degree of spinal cord compression. Then qualitative intramedullary changes like cord swelling, oedema, contusive haemorrhage, haematomyelia, partial or complete laceration should be evaluated. Protocols for routine MRI of the patients SCI are proposed and discussed. This Session, jointly organised with ESTRO (European Society of Radiotherapy and Oncology), aims at promoting an integrated approach between specialists involved in multidisciplinary tumour boards to tailor the best treatment for each individual patient by exploiting the use of imaging. New advanced imaging technology provides not only morphological information on tumour extension, but also information on tumour function and biology. It allows not only a good evaluation of tumour response during and after treatment, but also an early detection of tumour recurrence. Radiation oncologists increasingly use hybrid equipment in which diagnostic imaging technology is incorporated within the radiation treatment machines to allow continuous adaptation of radiation treatment according to the daily response of the tumour, the surrounding organs and their movement. Thus, it is our interest to enhance the collaboration between imaging specialists and to optimise and adapt the different use of imaging to the comprehensive clinical management of the oncological patient. By dedicating a combination of Radiology and Radiotherapy lectures to rectal cancer model, the Session aims at offering a programme focusing on the use of imaging in a truly multidisciplinary environment, in order to support understanding between specialists belonging to different disciplines, yet using a common language. Session Objectives: 1. To become familiar with an integrated approach between radiologists and radiation oncologists in multidisciplinary tumour boards to tailor the best treatment for each individual patient with rectal cancer. 2. To understand how to evaluate the tumour response during and after treatment, as well as the early detection of tumour recurrence. 3. To appreciate the benefit for radiation oncologists in using hybrid equipment to allow continuous adaptation of radiation treatment according to the daily response of tumour, the surrounding organs and their movement. The common cold is one of the most frequent illnesses in Europe and the United States. Although most cold are mild and resolve within a short time period, colds cost billions of dollars per year, mostly due to lost time at work and school. The common cold is a group of symptoms caused by one of a large number of viruses. Rhinoviruses cause the greatest number of colds; there are more than 100 different varieties of rhinovirus. The average adult experiences two to three colds per year, while children average 8 to 12 colds per year. In most cases, colds do not cause serious illness. Most colds last for three to seven days, although many people continue to have symptoms (coughing, sneezing, congestion) for up to two weeks. Some viruses that cause the common cold can also depress the immune system or cause swelling in the lining of the nose or airways; this can lead to bacterial infection. One of the more common complications is sinusitis, which is usually caused by viruses and rarely (about 2 per cent of the time) by bacteria. However, it can be difficult to distinguish bacterial sinusitis from sinusitis caused by a cold because the signs and symptoms can be similar. However, due to the fact that a runny nose can also result from inflammation, trauma, foreign body and other abnormal processes, including tumors, an excellent diagnostic workup is necessary. Session Objectives: 1. To discuss the epidemiology. 2. To discuss the pathophysiology. 3. To become familiar with facts concerning economic aspects.
