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