Description

The lumbar spine is a critical and complex anatomical region, and accurate imaging and diagnosis are crucial for effective management. However, inconsistencies in terminology and interpretation of lumbar spine imaging are common.

These discrepancies often lead to miscommunication between professionals, resulting in repeat imaging, additional consultations, and increased healthcare costs. Chronic lumbar spine conditions are a leading cause of disability and work absenteeism, affecting both individual livelihoods and overall economic productivity.

This fellowship will combine lectures from experienced lumbar spine experts, with reporting on real-life cases, participants will review a number of cases for each of the indicated topics.

On the final day, attendees will work through a comprehensive case, answering related questions, followed by a detailed review of the correct findings to conclude the course.


Unique Opportunity to Learn and Test Your Skills

This Fellowship is a unique concept. For each case available on the Reporting Simulator, you will answer specific questions related to the imaging issues and complete a questionnaire prior to the theoretical lecture. After the lecture, we will compare your initial responses with the post-lecture results to assess improvement, and everything will be reviewed by the Key Opinion Leaders who are directing the course.
