The course is aimed at respiratory (and other clinicians) and radiologists with limited thoracic CT experience who would like to broaden their knowledge of cross sectional CT imaging of the chest. The case mix allows access to different level of case difficulty addressing the presence or lack of candidate’s experience in thoracic CT imaging. The course is useful for respiratory and radiology SpRs in lead up to exit exams.
