Quality Training
Participants will have the opportunity to
review over 300 emergent examinations
covering all organ systems and
modalities commonly encountered
in the emergency radiology setting.
Through participation in multiple
interpretation sessions under the
supervision of expert faculty, the
participant will develop a higher level of
expertise and confidence in emergent
imaging. Formal lectures will cover the
core concepts, organised by organ
system.
At the conclusion of this course,
participants will be able to:
• Develop a systematic search pattern
for evaluating MDCT examinations of
the multiple trauma patient
• Recognise common and significant
injuries in trauma
• Familiarise with potential sources of
missed diagnoses and interpretation
pitfalls in MDCT of trauma
• Understand basic technical principles
for proper acquisition of CT images
in the emergency patient (trauma and
non-trauma)
• Learn characteristic appearance of
various causes of acute abdominal,
chest and pelvic emergencies on plain
radiography, CT and US
• Review common and uncommon
fractures of the upper extremities,
lower extremities, and pelvis and spine
with emphasis on the easily-missed
fracture.
There are still a very limited number
of places available for both HRCT
and Emergency Radiology. Interested
members who wish to attend either
course are urged to register immediately
