Description
The Essentials workshop series is designed specifically for Radiologists in Training and non-GI specialised Radiologists seeking a solid foundation in gastrointestinal imaging. Focused on Levels I–II, the series covers all the essential basics you need to know — from appropriate imaging modalities and protocols to interpretation of key imaging findings.
Led by experienced GI radiology fellows, each session offers practical tips & tricks, illustrative case reviews, and concise theoretical insights to enhance your clinical confidence. Whether you're looking to strengthen your day-to-day practice or preparing for the EDGAR diploma, this series provides a valuable learning platform.
This focused Interventional Radiology course is designed to take you from foundational knowledge to practical confidence. Starting with the basics and building in complexity, each session blends key theory with real cases, covering:
- Imaging modalities and protocols
- Step-by-step interpretation techniques
- Practical tips & tricks
Cases include clinical background, guided walkthroughs, and clear take-home learning points — making this course ideal for radiologists aiming to strengthen their IR skills in a structured, practical way.
Learning objectives
- To understand how to select patients for abdominal IR procedures and perform the appropriate imaging work-up
- To recognise the key steps and imaging guidance principles of common procedures
- To identify complications and post-procedure findings
- To appreciate the role of IR in multidisciplinary management
