Course highlights

  • Intensive supervised interpretation and reporting practice
  • Short introductory lectures, offering guidance, practical knowledge, what not to miss and how
  • Faculty of UK based Consultant Neuroradiologists who are experts in their fields and from different hospitals in the UK
  • Case review and discussion panel, Q&A, reporting guidance, tips and common errors to avoid
  • Interactive discussions, what is relevant and significant, take home messages that will change your reporting practice

The content

Extensive sessions over two days covering:

  • Important anatomy of brain & spine
  • CT / MRI; When to use which modality
  • Disease patterns and terminology
  • Imaging characteristics of lesions and differential diagnoses
  • Understanding the significance and appropriate use of imaging in assisting diagnosis

Each session includes:

  • A brief introduction by the session lead.
  • Cases then reviewed by session lead whom will provide:
  • Top tips
  • Pitfalls
  • Interactive questions
  • Take home messages

The aim

  • practical (case-based learning);
  • stimulating (interactive, challenging cases, immediate feedback)
  • comprehensive (covering a full range of Neuroradiology imaging topics)

Learning outcomes

By the end of the course, the delegate will have:

  • become more confident in their daily interpretation of neuroradiology imaging
  • have a more comprehensive understanding of brain and spine pathology and the relevant imaging findings
  • have a more in-depth understanding of appropriate use of imaging in differing pathologies and different diagnoses.
  • 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.
  • be confident and able to make a decision on when to refer.
