Prostate I

Description

This module includes 5 clinical prostate MRI cases for you to report in our Image Reporting Simulator ( integrated online PACS viewer with structure reporting and immediate feedback with annotations and hangings).

It offers hands-on practice in reading MRI for prostate cancer detection using the criteria recommended in the recently updated guidelines PI-RADS v2.1 ( (Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System).

It will help you understand the different criteria according to the dominant sequence and the zonal anatomy to provide a final score category whether there is a high or low suspicion of a significant cancer. The module is focused on the most relevant features to analyse on an MRI examination of the prostate to detect prostate cancer.

Radiology Image Reporting Simulator - How does it work?

The specialised radiologist mentors have carefully prepared a structured reporting template to help you report the MRI cases, formatted in a quiz format while you also view the cases in a web-based PACS-viewer on the right.

1. First, you should review the case images.

2. Then, you can begin the reporting template quiz (meanwhile still reviewing the images on the right)

3. After you submit your answers, the correct answers will appear and you will receive a score for your report.

4. Alongside the answers, you will also find helpful comments and learnings that the specialised radiologist mentor has left. There might also be arrows or markings on the images to help you see relevant findings.

5. If you score more than 66%, you have passed the module and can download your CME Certificate. You can reset the module and try again if you did not pass.

You can save the module whenever you want and return to it later, giving you the flexibility to practice on your own time.

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.

Hardware	Tablets *	Minimum	Recommended
Memory (RAM):	2 Gigabyte	8 Gigabyte	16 Gigabyte
Processor (CPU):	Dual core 1.85 Ghz	Dual core 2 Ghz	Quad core 2.5 Ghz
Internet connection		Minimum	Recommended
Speed:		10 Mbps	25 Mbps
Software	Tablets	Desktop

• * Tested with Safari on iPad 9.7 (2017), should also work on Android with Chrome. User interface not optimized for smaller screens. Large cases (more than 600 images) are not able to be opened on tablet or mobile devices due to memory constraints.
• ** Firefox, Edge and Safari also work but might not provide an equally smooth experience. Internet Explorer is not supported.
