This 3-day Online Fellowship covers CT and MRI of the brain in dementia disorders covering both basic and early advanced knowledge. We will discuss imaging findings with a lecture, followed by individual case reading with a subsequent group discussion.
This Online Fellowship is designed for radiologists who would like to become more confident when reporting CT and MRI of the brain in dementia.
The course includes an overview of the classification of dementia disorders, diagnostic findings on CT and MRI and training to provide a structured report with a clinically relevant conclusion.
Each session will start with a lecture. After the lecture you will be challenged with practicing on real-life anonymised key cases from the TMC Academy teaching file. Reporting templates including recognized standardized rating scales will be used to help write adequate reports.
The individual case readings will be followed by mentor's interpretations, questions and comments, along with a group discussion.
TMC Academy fellowships are held in a virtual classroom environment on Zoom. Participants are encouraged to engage in discussions making use of their camera and microphone in order to recreate the face-to-face experience.
In this small group environment among your peers, you are free to ask questions, make mistakes, and learn together with the support of the radiologist mentor.
This fellowship is organised by TMC Academy, an EACCME Trusted Provider.

Dr. Munawar, Consultant Geriatrician, Melbourne, Australia (Fellow, Aug 2022)
"This course will help you become more confident in your readings and the online setup is very convenient especially for those people who cannot travel out of their countries. It is also helpful that we can also have access to the lectures and learning materials even after the sessions which can facilitate further self directed learning."

Dr. Anne-Grethe, Radiologist, Norway (Fellow, Aug 2022)
"It is an useful fellowship for daily practice. I highly recommended it. Thank you."
Dr. Alcaraz, Neuroradiologist (Fellow, Aug 2022)
"Congratulations on an informative course and capable presenter. Enjoyed every minute of it. I have picked up great tips for evaluating the NPH and mid brain/pontine lesions which will be part of "review areas" in my reports."
Dr. Kambiz Maleki, Consultant Radiologist, West Midlands Hospital, UK (Fellow, Nov 2021)
"This course has helped me in understanding the imaging differences of various causes of dementia and how to write a good report for dementia."
Dr. Seema Karan, Consultant Radiologist, Scunthorpe General Hospital, UK (Fellow, Nov 2021)
"Excellent course. I loved solving the cases. Now, I feel more confident in reporting iNPH and dementia cases."
Dr. Miroslava Burghardtová, Radiologist, Czechia (Fellow, Nov 2021)
"I found Dr Larsson extremely patient and an excellent teacher. I appreciated being included fully as a reporting radiographer when every other participant was a radiologist. She obviously took care to avoid cases that would involve me reporting from MRI as opposed to just CT."
Dr. Nicola Cowan, Royal Cornwall Hospital, United Kingdom (Fellow, Nov 2021)
"Elna-Marie is a wonderful teacher with deep knowledge of her subject, very good pedagogical skills and with an amazing way to make everything look easy. I learned so much in such a short time!"
Dr. Sofia Papageorgiou, Radiologist, Region Värmland, Sweden (Fellow, May 2021)
"Good interaction with lecturer and great learning. I appreciated the pattern of evaluation to follow and feel that my interpretation skills have improved since this fellowship."
Dr. Mañana Pienaar, Consultant Radiologist, Wexford General Hospital, Ireland (Fellow, May 2021)
"Prof Elna's lectures were presented very well and she is an excellent mentor. The case discussion was excellent. I can now generate a good report when it comes to neurodegenerative disease."

Professor emerita in Neuroradiology at Uppsala University
Elna-Marie Larsson, MD, PhD, is professor emerita of neuroradiology at Uppsala University, Sweden. She received her medical degree from the University of Lund (1977), Sweden, and her doctoral degree (PhD) in diagnostic radiology from the same university (1989). This was followed by a post-doc for one year at the University of Texas Health Science Center, San Antonio, Texas, USA. During 2006-2009, she had a position as professor of radiology at Aarhus University, Denmark. In 2009 she moved back to Sweden and became appointed as professor of neuroradiology at Uppsala University and from 2010 also visiting professor of neuroradiology at Linkoping University, both until retirement in 2018. She has published more than 200 papers in peer reviewed scientific journals and 30 descriptive articles and textbook chapters. She has been main supervisor of 14 PhD students who have defended their doctoral theses and co-supervisor for 14 PhD students. Her research has been focused on advanced MR imaging of the brain with applications in dementia, brain tumours and normal pressure hydrocephalus. Her clinical activity has included CT and MRI of the brain, spine and ear, nose and throat (ENT) and she presently works for TMC as clinical neuroradiologist reporting on these topics. She has been director of neuroradiology and of MRI at the department of radiology, Lund University Hospital and at the department of radiology, Uppsala University Hospital, Sweden. She has a vast experience of teaching (national and international) with emphasis on MRI and neuroradiology and has been organizer of several MRI and neuroradiology courses including ESMRMB courses. She has been president of the European Society of Magnetic Resonance in Medicine and Biology (ESMRMB), the Swedish Society of Neuroradiology (SFNR), the Nordic Society of Neuroradiology (NSNR), and the Danish Society for Medical Magnetic Resonance (DSMMR).
