Thoracic Radiology – in depth
Two day course – In depth Thoracic Radiology – Including lots of practical tips for good radiographic technique, detailed discussion of lung patterns, the importance of X-rays for cardiac disease, pleural, mediastinal, thoracic wall disease. Plenty of time for nice interactive film reading sessions with lots of interesting cases and plenty of time to discuss them with the course delegates for the best possible learning experience.
