With increasing use of cross-sectional imaging, the diagnosis of pancreatic cysts is climbing. The goal of this program is to review and discuss the different types of pancreatic cystic lesions that are most often encountered in practice and to distinguish worrisome (mucinous) from benign (nonmucinous) cysts. Additionally, the program will help healthcare providers negotiate the different guidelines in order to facilitate appropriate plan and follow up on these patients.

The live event was held August 9, 2019. The recording of this event will be available by August 15, 2019.

• Discuss the different types of pancreatic cystic lesions
• Demonstrate how to distinguish the different types of pancreatic cystic lesions
• Apply the current guidelines for surveillance of pancreatic cystic lesions

Because all browsers continually roll out new versions and updates, it is not always practical to point to a particular browser as "better" than another. Because browsers are free, you can easily shift from one to another for various purposes. Whatever browser you are using, here are some tips for better streaming and viewing of ASGE videos:

1. Close other applications and browser tabs. This decreases the load on memory so your computer or other device can focus on streaming.
2. Use a 5 GHz frequency if your router supports it. The common 2.4 GHz frequency is used by household appliances, so is more crowded. Avoiding it is like getting into the carpool lane on a freeway: smoother sailing.
3. Use Ethernet instead of Wi-Fi if possible but GI LEAP is built with Wi-Fi in mind. 
4. Monitor your internet connection. If your ISP has promised you 5MBps and you are getting only 1MBps, it's time for a phone call to your internet provider to sort that out.
