An educational program with a new imaging case each month to learn from, illustrating important radiological findings to cover a broad range of body systems, serving as a stimulus for further learning with suggested reading provided upon completion.
Project Lead - Dr Chien Ho and Dr Katerina Mastrocostas
A collaboration between RAB, Radiopaedia and Integral Diagnostics
We are excited to announce the launch of a new learning initiative, the "RAB Film Bank Quiz (FBQ)". From its origins as an 'in house' Integral Diagnostics monthly interesting case presentation, it has been adapted and developed into a monthly case based educational programme available for all RAB members and in particular, members in developing nations. This has only been possible due to the valuable contributions from many individuals, including Dr Katerina Mastrocostas, Dr Chien Ho, Dr Henry Knipe, Stephen Hardwick, Kacey Blake,Dr Suresh de Silva and Julian Gully.
The FBQ will run over 12 months, commencing from April with trial cases. Each month, a new case will be featured, consisting of a clinical history, corresponding imaging and a series of questions. The selected cases aim to illustrate interesting and/or important radiological findings and will cover a broad range of body systems, serving as a stimulus for further learning. At the end of each case, suggestions for further reading will also be provided and an area for the learner to suggest further topic they would like covered.
