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”.

- It was online, well plotted and very good IT support always available
- Good to have obtained those extra pathology details that I didn’t have before and that sure will improve my practice.
- The Streaming service was very good but I wish we could have more time to review the cases, but I understand that time is limited
- Excellent, very well run course, as usual Oliver & Jack very good IT support, thx
- Speakers friendly informal atmosphere, good content and good clinical cases with discussions and examinations of what to do next
- I liked the breadth of coverage, cases and ease of PACS, good pace
- Fast paced, but got through plenty of challenging material.
- It weas really good to be able to scroll through the images; but, more Slido polling for engagement and collective thought
- There were several learning points that will enhance my depth of knowledge
- Very clear presentation; when small hiccough the Infomed support swiftly remediating the issue.
- Yes, the tips and tricks on techniques (US), will make me more confident in my patient care

- I did like that the course was online with good use PACS
- I enjoyed the variety of topics and gained a lot from the speakers expertise

- An opportunity to refresh what I know and improve my reporting.
- I am now more familiar with protocols/pathways and abnormal appearances and what do to, so immediate application in day to day work & cases
- It was good to be online from home with the best Paediatric Radiology speakers in the Country.
- Quality speakers with relevant high expertise, interactive sessions, good timekeeping, all this to improve quality of Paediatric imaging in our department and hopefully encourage colleagues to participate more in Paediatric Radiology
- The course was very well scheduled and run. As a trainee I would have liked more time for dysplasia cases and less on the legal aspects, but I understand this can be useful as well.
- Excellent speakers, good to cover mimics/differentials, sessions had adequate time
- Excellent presentations, interesting focus, really good interactive cases and Interactive cases, discussions on line and medicolegal views
- It is really difficult to have a seamless service with remote presenters. I’m not sure how you would do it, but to have it running as you did was obviously great.

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!
