The workshop was organized by the Danang City Medical Association and Thien Nhan Hospital and related units.

The workshop aims to update medical advances in imaging diagnosis and treatment of hepatobiliary diseases, which are important steps forward in improving the quality of medical expertise in the central region.

The workshop focused on clarifying the prominent role of MRI using liver-bile specific contrast agents (EOB-MRI) in early detection of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), metastasis assessment, liver transplantation support and differentiation of benign lesions such as FNH with Adenoma, hemangioma; the application of EOB-MRI not only increases diagnostic accuracy but also helps save treatment costs and improve prognosis for patients.

At the program, doctors and nurses participated in an intensive practical training session (Hands-on) on EOB-MRI imaging and analysis techniques. Thereby, helping Thien Nhan's team of technicians improve their skills, master the process of implementing modern techniques, thereby optimizing the effectiveness of diagnosis and clinical support.

Currently, Thien Nhan Hospital is the pioneer in the central region to own the MRI 3.0 Tesla Lumina system - the latest generation of diagnostic imaging equipment from Siemens (Germany) - integrating specialized liver and gallbladder imaging techniques combined with EOB contrast agents (Primovist).
