This CT course includes: acute bowel ischemia, large bowel obstruction, epiploic appendagitis, stercoral colitis, pneumatosis / pseudo-pneumatosis, and mesenteric pathology.

It contains 30 anonymised real-life cases, grouped into 6 modules, drawn from everyday reporting in the on‑call department at TMC, Unilabs’ teleradiology company.
By achieving 66% correct answers in each module, the program will be accredited with 2 CME credits from the EACCME.

You can start for free and complete the first 5 cases at no cost. Full access to all cases and other on-demand courses and webinars can be unlocked by purchasing a Premium Membership.

Note from the mentor:
Working in the on-call section of the Telemedicine Clinic exposes our on-call team members to a high concentration of acute abdominal pathologies. Whilst presentation of peritonitic patients can sometimes be atypical and challenging at presentation in the ER, the radiological assessment of the CT studies obtained in this group of patients can often be challenging as well.

Based upon experiences learned in our daily emergency work, a step-by-step assessment is proposed to facilitate radiology readings. In this programme, participants are exposed to a wide variety of commonly and less commonly encountered acute bowel conditions. As images say more than 1000 words, hands-on training and reporting teaching cases are by far the best way to further grow in the field.

Unilabs Academy e-learning
The 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.

Unilabs Academy mini fellowships
Continue your CT training with in-depth fellowships - live lectures, group case reading sessions, and plenty of Q&A with a mentor in an interactive online format. Check the upcoming fellowship courses in 2026 here

• To use a standardised approach to the assessment of the acute abdomen, specifically aimed at the assessment of the bowel in the on-call setting.
• To obtain extensive overview of intestinal emergencies, including inflammatory (common and less common) conditions, obstruction, ischemia, acute presentation of malignancy and others.
• To gain experience in step-by-step analysis of imaging features commonly encountered in the bowel, including (but not limited to) luminal width, wall thickness, density and enhancement. This in the ends facilitates the design of the differential diagnosis in most cases.

Radiology trainees (residents/registrars in years 4–5), practising radiologists (including consultants), looking to improve CT decision-making in acute, on-call settings, will find this course beneficial.
