An educational program with a new imaging case each month to learn from, illustrating important radiological findings that cover a broad range of body systems, serving as a stimulus for further learning with suggested reading provided upon completion.
Project Leads - 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, Stephen Hardwick, Apurba Dehidar, Ellie Hodder, Andre De Jager, Julian Gully and Dr Suresh de Silva.
The FBQ will run monthly, commencing in April 2021. 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. Suggestions for further reading will also be provided throughout the case.
You will be emailed a CPD certificate of participation on completion of the case, with each case contributing 0.5 learning hours (one half CPD point).
From August, registrants in developing nations who undertake the FBQ every month over a 12 month period will have their quiz responses assessed and will be in the running for prizes.
To participate, please sign up if you have not done so or login via the RAB Film Bank members area: (N.B. The certificate generated will reflect the name you used when creating your account, you can adjust your details under the my account section.)
