The online fellowship will begin with a comprehensive review of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) physiology and radiological anatomy. Throughout the fellowship, imaging signs of hydrocephalus will be discussed in detail. Imaging techniques used in the evaluation of hydrocephalus will constitute a major component of the program.
In addition, other CSF disorders—including idiopathic intracranial hypertension, spontaneous intracranial hypotension, and normal pressure hydrocephalus—will be addressed in dedicated sessions, with emphasis on their characteristic radiological findings. Various secondary causes of hydrocephalus, such as leptomeningeal carcinomatosis, tumors, and other obstructive or infiltrative processes, will also be highlighted.
Furthermore, normal post-treatment imaging appearances as well as treatment-related complications will be reviewed to enhance participants’ confidence in follow-up imaging interpretation.
Unilabs Academy online radiology courses are held in a virtual classroom environment on Zoom. Participants are encouraged to engage in discussions making use of their camera and microphone in order to recreate the face-to-face experience.
In this small group environment among your peers, you are free to ask questions, make mistakes, and learn together with the support of the radiologist mentor.
Unilabs Academy is an EACCME Trusted Provider.
