ESOR Course for EDiR on Chest Imaging

November 12, 2018; Vienna/Austria

Course information

In 2018, ESOR is continuing to organise foundation courses to prepare/assist those entering examinations for the European Diploma in Radiology (EDiR). These courses may also be attended by board-certified radiologists, wishing to update their knowledge in a specific area. A series of courses is organised at the ESR Learning Centre in Vienna/Austria, in November 2018. The format will include nine courses, each one dealing with a specific organ/system-oriented theme.

The teaching concept will include 20-minute lectures, immediately followed by 40-minute case-based reviews on six topics. The teaching/learning objectives for each of the topics will be strictly adhered to the European Training Curriculum. A self-assessment test with multiple choice questions for each lecture will round-off the exercise.

The ESOR Courses for EDiR are intended to help prospective candidates to prepare for the European Diploma in Radiology examination. Attendance does not guarantee acceptance to take the examination or success in the examination.

Learning objectives

to avoid pitfalls in the interpretation of lung cancer on chest radiographs
to understand the management of focal pulmonary nodules on CT
to review thoracic imaging strategies for pulmonary vascular disease and infection
to adopt a systematic approach for the evaluation of micro nodular and reticular diseases on HRCT imaging
