The aim
This advanced Infomed webinar is in response to suggestions/feedback from many general radiologists, who have attended Infomed courses, more lately webinars, and now with the easing of the pandemic see the need for a focussed and comprehensive Paediatric Radiology CPD programme.
- To provide the Consultant Radiologist with a practical and comprehensive case based update on the interpretation and reporting of general paed radiology, suspected inflicted injuries and challenging cases when on call
- Takes delegates through an intensive series of challenging cases with immediate feedback after each case
- Short introductory lectures, offering guidance, practical knowledge, what not to miss and how
- Faculty of Consultant Paediatric Radiologists who are experts in their fields and from different hospitals in the UK
- Interactive case-based approach using a powerful online DICOM viewer to maximise learning. Excellent peer interaction and collaborative learning.
- Interactive discussions, trauma and non-trauma cases, what is relevant and significant, and take home messages that will change your reporting practice
By the end of the course, participants will have:
- a practical and comprehensive case based update on the interpretation and reporting of general paed radiology as well as of suspected inflicted injuries
- an improved understanding of Paediatric imaging interpretation and reporting skills.
- greater confidence in managing the imaging of an acutely unwell child.
- an understanding of the importance of applying the ALARA principle in Paediatric imaging.
- Had an instructive and engaging educational experience

Her research interests are in the imaging of suspected child abuse and skeletal dysplasias and in methods of determining which children have fragile bones prone to fracture and which do not. Amaka lectures regularly on various radiology, paediatric, genetic, emergency medicine and orthopaedic courses, locally and nationally. She has contributed chapters to several well-respected radiology textbooks, and is co-author of two books, “A Radiological Atlas of Child Abuse” and “Fetal and Perinatal Skeletal Dysplasias: An Atlas of Multimodality Imaging”.

- Enhanced my paediatric practice improved confidence in paediatric imaging
- It was good to have a large volume of cases covered really well with access post the course to revise the talks!
- This course will improve my confidence in reporting paediatric cases and the inflicted injury day was the most useful and will make me think about suspected abuse when reporting even the simplest of A&E X-rays.

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