Differentials in Neuroradiology CPD Course for Radiologists in Training (Registrars)

This 2-day course, led by consultant neuroradiologists Stuart Currie and Ian Craven, provides an analytical approach to the differential diagnoses commonly encountered in adult & paediatric neuroradiological practice, including brain and spinal disease, covering: 

• Trauma
• Space occupying lesions 
• Stroke and brain haemorrhage 
• White matter disease 
• Phakomatoses 
• Dysraphism

Index imaging studies will be linked with pertinent companion cases to provide a depth of diagnoses. The accompanying practical neuroradiological approach will help to narrow down the differentials and guide patient management.

This in-person, CPD event offers an opportunity to learn, discuss & understand some of the practical approaches, relating to neurological conditions. Ideal for those preparing to take their FRCR exams, this one-off event supports general radiologists to feel more confident in their approach and diagnosis.
