Course director
Dr Lalani Carlton Jones
Dr Carlton Jones practices in adult and paediatric neuroradiology, at Guys and St Thomas’s, The Evelina London and Kings College hospitals NHS Trusts. She graduated from the University of Cambridge and Imperial College with First Class honours, Titular scholarship and as Proxime Accessit. She trained in both neurology and neurosurgery prior to her general radiology training in London and then completing the Pan London neuroradiology fellowship. She has published in peer-reviewed general and specialist neuroradiology journals,delivered multiple national and international original presentations, invited lectures and been the recipient of several postgraduate awards. She has a keen interest in medical education having completed the RCP/UCL Postgraduate Diploma and now Masters in Medical Education, founded several national teaching courses and is the Lead for the neuroradiology stream of UKIO, the UK’s largest imaging conference. One of her key interests is in learning from medical error, and she furthers this as a member of the RCR Radiology Events and Learning panel.
Each session includes:
- A brief introduction by the session lead.
- Cases then reviewed by session lead whom will provide:
- Top tips
- Pitfalls
- Take home messages
The content
This webinar will ensure that delegates are able to:
- Understand basic and advanced neuroanatomy as well as relevant anatomical variants.
- Feel confident with having a sensible basic approach to diagnostic neuroradiology CT reporting
- Go beyond identification of basic patterns of common neuroradiological diagnoses to confidently approach more challenging cases
- Sessions will focus mostly on acute and trauma cases that are most relevant to day to day practice of DGH radiologists but will also address cases that the radiologist may not see frequently but needs to recognise and decide if referring further
Fourteen sessions over two days:
- Relevant neuroanatomy and variants
- Cranial trauma
- Acute stroke
- Non-traumatic acute haemorrhage
- Acute paediatric brain CT
- Cervical Spine trauma
- Thoracolumbar Spine trauma
- Intracranial infection in the acute setting
- Intracranial masses and mimics
- Non-traumatic acute spine
- The skull base on the acute CT head
- Review areas with specific clinical presentations; where does the radiologist add value?
- The post-operative neurosurgical CT head
- Quiz/ Neurodiscrepancy cases
the aim
This is a case-based acute neuroradiology webinar. The most frequently encountered out of hours CT examination is acute CT Head and therefore the course will have an on neuroradiological diagnosis based on CT head interpretation with additional MR follow up where relevant.
The focus will go beyond spotting common presentations and diagnosis, to troubleshooting, more subtle diagnosis, common pitfalls and errors. Many general radiologists report out of hours CT head in their routine practice and this course will serve as a useful revision and update to common patterns of disease as well as common practice errors. This will include pathology recognition, reporting style and content, and very importantly, when to refer.
- practical (case-based learning);
- stimulating (interactive, challenging cases, immediate feedback)
- comprehensive (covering a full range of acute neuro imaging topics)
By the end of the course, the delegate will have:
- (1) become more confident in their daily interpretation of acute neuroradiology cases
- (2) have a better understanding of appropriate use of imaging and different diagnoses;
- (3) 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.
- (4) be confident and able to make a decision on when/how to refer.
