Description

This cancer imaging fellowship course will help learners gain knowledge and technical considerations of advanced imaging techniques for bone and soft tissue tumour assessment and how to incorporate them into their practice. It will also give participants the key imaging findings on advanced imaging for bone and soft tissue tumour diagnosis.

The learners will gain knowledge on how to apply tumour severity scoring and management planning tools in their practices using MSK RADS systems

TMC Academy online radiology courses are held in a virtual classroom on Zoom. Participants are encouraged to engage in discussions making use of their camera and microphone 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 Dr. Chhabra.
