The aim
- To provide the busy, hands-on Radiologist with a practical, stimulating and comprehensive introduction and update on how to best use, interpret, and report PET-CT images in clinical practice
- Intensive supervised interpretation and reporting practice
- Short introductory lectures, offering guidance, practical knowledge, what not to miss and how
- Time and freedom to review cases at your own pace
- Case review and discussion panel, Q&A, reporting guidance, tips and common errors to avoid, including what different clinicians need and want to know
By the end of the course, participants will have:
- A comprehensive understanding of PET-CT in both specialist and district general settings.
- Improved skills in interpreting PET-CT
- Learned tips and tricks to avoid common misses and pick up on subtle abnormalities, particularly in relation to topics that are often inconsistently reported.
- Identified gaps in their own skills or knowledge which can then be addressed
- Had an instructive and engaging educational experience

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!
