the aim
To provide Consultant Radiologists with a practical, stimulating and comprehensive update on in depth interpretation and reporting practice in spinal imaging:
- practical (case-based learning);
- stimulating (interactive, challenging cases, immediate feedback)
- comprehensive (covering a full range of spinal imaging topics)
Learning outcomes
By the end of the course, the delegate will have:
- a comprehensive understanding of spinal pathology in both specialist and district general settings;
- improved skills in interpreting emergency spine pathology;
- a more in-depth understanding of both routine and complex chronic spine abnormalities;
- learned tips and tricks to avoid common misses and pick up on subtle abnormalities, particularly in relation to topics that are often inconsistently reported;
- a greater appreciation – through collaborative discussion – of issues relating to spinal intervention
