Course highlights

  • Intensive supervised interpretation and reporting practice
  • Short introductory lectures, offering guidance, practical knowledge, what not to miss and how
  • Faculty of UK based Consultant Neuroradiologists who are experts in their fields and from different hospitals in the UK
  • Case review and discussion panel, Q&A, reporting guidance, tips and common errors to avoid
  • Interactive discussions, what is relevant and significant, take home messages that will change your reporting practice

The content

Extensive sessions over two days covering:

  • Important anatomy of brain & spine
  • CT / MRI; When to use which modality
  • Disease patterns and terminology
  • Imaging characteristics of lesions and differential diagnoses
  • Understanding the significance and appropriate use of imaging in assisting diagnosis

Each session includes:

  • A brief introduction by the session lead.
  • Cases then reviewed by session lead whom will provide:
  • Top tips
  • Pitfalls
  • Interactive questions
  • Take home messages

The aim

  • practical (case-based learning);
  • stimulating (interactive, challenging cases, immediate feedback)
  • comprehensive (covering a full range of Neuroradiology imaging topics)

Learning outcomes

By the end of the course, the delegate will have:

  • become more confident in their daily interpretation of neuroradiology imaging
  • have a more comprehensive understanding of brain and spine pathology and the relevant imaging findings
  • have a more in-depth understanding of appropriate use of imaging in differing pathologies and different diagnoses.
  • have learned tips and tricks that would allow them to avoid common misses and pick up on subtle abnormalities, particularly in relation to topics that are often inconsistently reported.
  • be confident and able to make a decision on when to refer.

Comments from attendees of this course in June 2023

  • Topics. level at which pitched, mix of specialist and general; personable faculty and Infomed support staff, all very good for me

  • Excellent cases covering a broad spectrum of topics. I really enjoyed the interactive poll and quizzes.
  • Very good content and presentations of lectures, good interactive sessions and excellent support team.

  • Great course, pitched at the right level for a general radiologist. Would recommend to others.

  • The quality of all of the speakers was clearly exemplary, the variety of lectures and coverage of this topic, the cases were well chosen, Interactive ability. quiz at end to go through things again, to be honest, all was fantastic.

  • Straight forward Dicom for me, user-friendly, perfectly adequate, although some of the presenters has minor issues.

  • I really enjoyed the online nature of the course which facilitates individual flexibility and no travelling.

  • Excellent technical support from Infomed, No issues with PACS.

  • Problems with connectivity from some of the speakers, Infomed cannot be faulted for this, some lecturers need to make themselves more familiar with the technology in advance.

  • Webinar well organised , very good cases and speakers

  • Excellent topics, cases and knowledgeable presenters; great interactive sessions, – the Slido system is good and wish more speakers had used it

  • I wished that some speakers had practiced using the interface beforehand, but not the fault of informed and speakers are busy people, but try please.

  • Excellent integration of cases, good pace, wide range of very relevant topics; remote/online attendance and the ability to scroll through cases.

  • Excellent expert speakers, the interesting cases and the chance to go back and view the lectures online.

  • Very good comprehensive online programme, very good subject content, quality speakers answering questions in real time, going thorough images, Quiz

  • So good to be able to do this course from home (no travel) good relevant coverage with a variety of cases and I can look and manipulate images

  • Next time, more Slido polls in all sessions, they are great for making you think and stay engaged, and assess yourself against others

Access to cases for our imaging events

Our imaging courses are very much an interactive experience. Presentations are kept to the minimum and then you'll be into the fully featured cloud based DICOM viewer, looking at cases, feeding back your findings using our interactive tools. You'll get immediate feedback and learning points from our expert faculty member.

  • Attendance of the course includes access to the database of cases associated to this event on our server at PostDICOM.
  • Full access to each case with a full toolset to open, view and manipulate each case alongside the faculty but on your own screen!
  • You will maintain your access to the resource throughout your 60 day catch-service period too.
