Urology - advanced imaging and the benefits of a multidisciplinary approach
I-MED Radiology's A/Prof Nick Brown and guest speakers Dr John Yaxley and Dr Anojan Navaratnam discuss how better healthcare outcomes are achieved by medical collaboration between urology and radiology - and how advanced imaging technology, like PET PSMA and MRI, are used.
