This CT course is created to guide radiologists who would like to gain confidence in identifying acute emergencies of the aorta and improve their reporting skills on the basis of a structured approach.

Acute aortic syndrome belongs to the most fatal emergencies in the medical field and requires immediate diagnosis on CT scan, which is the quickest and most reliable tool for assessment of the aortic pathology and urgent differential diagnosis. The radiologist’s role is not only to detect or rule out the acute pathology, but also to provide the clinicians with the most important details and identify risk factors and associated complications which have an impact on the immediate and targeted further management of the high-risk patients.

The training contains 10 anonymised real-life cases, grouped into 2 modules, drawn from everyday reporting in the on‑call department at TMC, Unilabs’ teleradiology company.

You can start for free and complete the first 5 cases (2 CME credits) at no cost. Full access to all 10 cardiac CT cases and other reporting courses and webinars can be unlocked by purchasing a Premium Membership.

This on-demand course is delivered using a Reporting Simulator — a unique, interactive tool integrated in our e-learning platform designed for radiologists to mirror real-life clinical practice.
The Simulator includes a DICOM image viewer and a dynamic, structured reporting form. Upon report submission, you receive immediate, case-specific feedback, allowing you to identify gaps and refine your reporting skills.

This is a CME-accredited CT training by Unilabs Academy, an EACCME Trusted Provider.

Testimonials:

💬 "The simulator is a brilliant way to learn or relearn how to approach a certain examination. It allows you to practice, think logically through a case, and is very applicable to clinical work.”
Dr. Bryan Connolly, Specialist Radiologist

💬 "I like everything and particularly the structured template which creates an algorithm of reporting”

How does the Radiology Simulator work?

The specialised radiologist mentor has carefully prepared a structured reporting template to help you report the cases, formatted in a fun, clickable quiz format while you also view the cases in a web-based PACS-viewer on the right.

1. First, you should review the case images.

2. Then, you can begin the reporting template quiz (meanwhile still reviewing the images on the right)

3. After you submit your answers, the correct answers will appear and you will receive a score for your report.

4. Alongside the answers, you will also find helpful comments and learnings that the specialised radiologist mentor has left. There might also be arrows or markings on the images to help you see relevant findings.

5. If you score more than 66%, you have passed the module and can download your CME Certificate. If you did not pass, you can reset the module and try again.

You can save the module whenever you want and come back to it later, giving you flexibility to practice on your own time.
