Description

This radiology CME course is aimed mainly, but not exclusively at radiologists and urologists wishing to be trained on how to accurately protocol and interpret prostate MRI for cancer diagnosis. The programme is focused on the practical aspects of MRI staging of prostate cancer and how to follow and optimise imaging strategies to improve patient surveillance.

This interactive course will give you direct feedback on all your reported prostate MRI cases including case statistics and annotated image solutions.

Level

Level II - General radiologist


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.
