- Online, interactive, at home, no travelling, and will have catch up time – the best way to get my CPDs
- Broad variety of topics, very good lecturers, IT worked well, good time keeping!
- This will change my practice and, it will reduce unnecessary specialist referrals and save patient’s time and NHS resources. I will be more confident in deciding further management plan for incidental lesions detected during my reporting sessions.
- Great topics, all the lecturers were excellent and the variation is styles is really refreshing, very practical and relevant
- Good wide range of cases. ability to view cases independently. ability to do it from home, Pacs very easy to issue, no glitches, excellent work, I am very impressed.

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.
Sample the DICOM viewer here. A window will load below the buttons (best demonstrated on a computer rather than mobile device)
