Target audience
This course is designed for physicians who focus on the respiratory symptoms of patients, including respiratory physicians, and internal medicine specialists in general. Due to the multilevel approach, the course is appropriate for both clinicians with limited experience in imaging as well as those with advanced knowledge.
Educational aims
The aim of this course is to provide a comprehensive overview of imaging of typical chest diseases. A broad spectrum of topics will be covered to enable participants to independently perform image interpretation. The course will include plenary sessions of lectures with question and answer sessions, interactive workshops and case discussion sessions.
