Description
The goal of the fellowship is to increase the participants' confidence and competence in interpreting imaging studies of the brain and its coverings, head & neck, as well as the spine. This will be achieved by analyzing and discussing various possible sources of both error and additional relevant information.
After each lecture, the fellows will individually review and read selected anonymized clinical cases. Reporting templates will be suggested to help formulate the findings in a concise and comprehensive manner. This will be followed by mentor's questions and comments, along with interpretations and group discussion. Multiple choice questions will also be utilized to further enhance the learning environment.
Learning objectives
- To differentiate pathology from artefacts and variants
- To describe the clinical relevance of imaging findings
- To use the recommended terminology and structured reporting
- To utilize the full potential of imaging modalities and techniques by recognizing their advantages and limitations
Programme will include
- Lectures on pitfalls and pearls in neuroradiology
- Individual reading of selected anonymized cases
- Discussion of the cases and reports with the mentor and the group
- Access to the cases for a full year, from the week before the fellowship
Level
Level III - Subspecialisation training
Intermediate to advanced level, for radiologists with some neuroradiology experience
Technical requirements
The training platform runs entirely in the browser but the online PACS places a considerable load on the hardware and internet connection when viewing and loading cases.
