Curriculum Modules

The workshop covers five core thematic areas, each explored through theoretical input and practical case studies:

1 Imaging Modalities
  • Review of imaging modalities: deep physical principles and nature of images
  • Digitalization, look-up tables, transport and data storage
  • Image characteristics and performance: resolution, signal/noise ratio, contrast, point spread function, spatial frequencies
  • Reconstruction of tomography images (CT, MR, SPECT & PET, …)
  • Comparison across modalities
2 Radiology Service Organization
  • Modalities and device selection criteria
  • Architecture, room design, and departmental layout
  • Staff work organisation: secretaries, radiology technicians, nurses — team management, planning, skills and education
  • Team coherency, radiology specialties, medical organisation, and recruitment
  • Patient flow and clinical pathways
  • Economic models for radiology departments
3 Clinical Expectations of Imaging Modalities
  • Basics of radiological semiology and complementarities between modalities
  • Prescription and patient pathways: diagnostic, prevention, and follow-up
  • Clinical examples: emergencies, women's imaging, cardiovascular, and neurology imaging
  • Teaching radiology and related techniques
4 Purchase, Investment, Maintenance & Operations
  • Exploration of clinical needs and innovation monitoring
  • Tender organisation and inclusion criteria: warranty periods, spare parts, preventive and curative maintenance schedules, delays and penalties
  • Full commissioning: tests, staff education, technician and security training, documentation
  • Requirements for quality assurance
5 Medical Imaging in the Future
  • Prospects and innovations in medical imaging
  • Convergence of interventional radiology and surgery
  • Simulation for intervention preparation and education
  • Artificial Intelligence: in device cores, for physician support or substitution, and for education and teaching
  • New technologies: CT photon counting, metabolic imaging and theranostics, mini C-arms for the operating theatre
