The aim
- To provide the busy, hands-on Radiologist with a practical, stimulating and comprehensive introduction and update on how to best use, interpret, and report PET-CT images in clinical practice
- Intensive supervised interpretation and reporting practice
- Short introductory lectures, offering guidance, practical knowledge, what not to miss and how
- Time and freedom to review cases at your own pace
- Case review and discussion panel, Q&A, reporting guidance, tips and common errors to avoid, including what different clinicians need and want to know
By the end of the course, participants will have:
- A comprehensive understanding of PET-CT in both specialist and district general settings.
- Improved skills in interpreting PET-CT
- Learned tips and tricks to avoid common misses and pick up on subtle abnormalities, particularly in relation to topics that are often inconsistently reported.
- Identified gaps in their own skills or knowledge which can then be addressed
- Had an instructive and engaging educational experience
Our expert faculty, consisting of experts from Radiology and Nuclear Medicine, with years of clinical, teaching, and experience of disseminating skills and practical knowledge to peers from leading hospitals:

Comments from attendees of this course in May 2024
- Great variety of topics covered. relevant indications and good tips for interpreting in different cancers and how the reports impact management.
- Great to use cases- DICOM was really good. So well organised and structured with fab time keeping.
- Very useful . specially I am doing lung MDT, definitely this will improve my interpretation ability. Happy to join another session on PET imaging.
- Very good. thank you, sessions run very smoothly and very good use of slido.
- IT support available when needed, excellent service, thx for your prompt response & support
- Sessions with really relevant stuff with succinct recapping of basics and then detailed and focussed teaching of the more rare/tertiary aspects
- I liked the on line, interactive nature, quality of speakers, cover all aspects. good cases. Most of the sessions were well explained and interesting
- So useful as I start out learning PET-CT. Will take it further in my career. Given me a lot of confidence with spotting findings and understanding clinical relevance. Really valuable focus on common pitfalls!
- Great content Great teachers Great topics
- Very good on line -easy to attend and interact…and from home!
- Wide scope ,good presentation ,different cases.
- What I have learnt will allow me to be more confident when recommending and reviewing PET-CT.
- Coverage of wide range of topics, hands on cases and time management.
- More use of the cases potentially with an element of reporting – good to see pathology but sometimes useful to talk about reporting style/language/phraseology. Brain PET could have been covered as this is a significant growth area.
- This course will improve my reporting going forwards and overall understanding of PETCT.
- Very good for MDT review, direct practical impact on everyday practice.
- I’m doing haematology MDT meeting ,and the course is directly related to my scope of work.
- I am usually involved in reporting PET in my clinical practice. This has helped me widen my knowledge with exposure to huge variety of cases.
- I gained a better understanding of limitations, and pitfalls of PET that I may come across during my MDTs as well as use/indications of PET outside my subspecialty interests

Very approachable and practical lecturers with sessions with large number of excellent and interesting cases from a very good and useful range of topics.
Knowledgeable speakers with the interesting mix of cases and the easy access to PACS
Going through practical cases with experienced lecturers it will help in my practice especially cancer MDTs
Well organised and well delivered, great cases including pitfalls, insight into PET CT indications and technique
Excellent variety of quality speakers and cases; ease of access to case at the sessions and post course to consolidate knowledge.
I am sure I will now be more informed for MDMs and able to direct clinicians better in my reports – a big impact
Good time keeping, easy process from booking to end of course and excellent faculty

I gained a better understanding of limitations, and pitfalls of PET that I may come across during my MDTs as well as use/indications of PET outside my subspecialty interests
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)
