Description
The simulator allows you to practice in a real environment that replicates the work of specialists linked to image diagnosis. It is a type of "learning by doing" that allows you to instantly learn from any mistakes made when interpreting the images. Once each case is completed, the user will receive the answers immediately with comments from the mentor on the structured report and annotations on the images, as this strengthens the entire learning process.
Learning objectives
- To be able to identify and describe the various ILD patterns seen on HRCT scans
- To practice completing structured reporting templates that can aid in MDT discussions
- To apply joint clinical / radiological assessment for the diagnosis of Interstitial Lung Disease
Level
Level II - General radiologist
