Needs Assessment:
Intraoperative assessment of kidney graft quality is critical to predicting short- and long-term transplant outcomes. While Doppler and B-mode ultrasound are widely available and offer non-invasive insights into perfusion and structure, their ability to reliably detect ischemia-reperfusion injury, fibrosis, or other functional impairments at the time of transplant is limited. This leads to inconsistent evaluations of organ viability and may contribute to poorer graft survival, particularly in marginal or deceased donor kidneys. New imaging biomarkers—such as quantitative ultrasound (QUS) and photoacoustic imaging (PAI)—show promise but are not yet adopted in routine surgical workflows.

Faculty: Eno Hysi, PhD, Canada Research Chair

Learning Objective(s)
After participating in this activity, participants will:

• Have increased knowledge describing the limitations of conventional B-mode and Doppler ultrasound in assessing intraoperative kidney graft quality, and explain how emerging imaging techniques such as quantitative ultrasound (QUS) and photoacoustic imaging (PAI) address these gaps;
• Have better competence interpreting structural and physiological biomarkers derived from QUS and PAI to assess ischemia-reperfusion injury and predict short- and long-term outcomes in kidney transplantation; and
• Demonstrate greater confidence to identify barriers to clinical adoption of advanced intraoperative imaging modalities and outline strategies for integrating QUS and PAI into transplant workflows, including equipment, training, and protocol development.

Target Audience: This activity is intended for nephrologists, urologists, radiologists, anesthesiologists, basic scientists and engineers, sonographers, and other health care professionals interested in learning the latest emerging imaging modalities.

Educational Needs
Exertional leg pain encompasses a broad range of conditions, including bony, musculotendinous, and vascular etiologies. While clinicians and sonographers may have a general concept of etiologies of exertional leg pain, some uncommon conditions remain undiagnosed. This webinar will address the role of ultrasound in the evaluation of the differential diagnosis of exertional leg pain.

Learning Objective(s)
After watching this activity, you should be able to:

• List common and uncommon conditions that cause exertional leg pain; 
• Describe the role of ultrasound in the diagnosis of these conditions; and
• Summarize ultrasound-guided treatments for these conditions.
