Case-based Diagnosis Training
ECR 2025 Case-Based Diagnosis Training session - Interlude
ECR 2025 will see the return of the popular session for general radiologists and residents at the end of their training looking for a simple update on subjects outside of their usual field.
Be a part of the interlude
Once again, you have the opportunity to participate in the Case-Based Diagnosis Training session by submitting your most intriguing cases to be featured in the interlude, which sports a unique theme for each ECR. The theme of this year’s interlude is “Humans versus nature“. Submit your cases that best illustrate the effect of nature on our health. To find out more about this year’s theme and how to submit your cases, please refer to the information provided below.
The selected cases will take part in a lucky draw after the interlude! The lucky winner will receive a Premium Education Package (PEP) subscription.
Test your knowledge
Additionally, the session will offer an interactive way to test your knowledge in a range of subspecialty areas. Before and after the Interlude, you can try to solve clinical cases from ten different fields in radiology, where specialists then help to highlight typical characteristics and differential diagnostic entities.
Come and join us, and maybe you will win the award for your excellent work-up!
If you have any questions, please contact [email protected].
Humans versus nature
ECR 2025’s theme is “PLANET RADIOLOGY” and we are challenged to consider the ways in which radiology affects the world we live in. We should aim to adapt and improve our practices, technology and mindsets to minimise the negative impact on the environment.
But how are WE influenced by our environment? Which signs do you recognise from environmental impact, no matter whether it is due to occupational exposure as in asbestosis or hypersensitivity pneumonitis as in hay fever? Collect the examinations displaying all sorts of fungal or parasitic diseases with pathognomonic signs alerting us of the correct origin. Show us image examples of consumptive venomous snake-bite induced coagulopathy and ingested foreign bodies in the paediatric age group.
TBA
a) Transverse T2.
b) Coronal T2 SPAIR show hypointense intralienal streaks.
Diagnosis: old contained intralienal rupture after severe, prolonged coughing
Whether it is Caisson’s disease or cerebral oedema in altitude sickness, reversal of jejunoileal fold pattern in susceptible people after gluten exposure, penetrating trauma with or without foreign bodies, nature is not always as kind to us as we would like to think.
Round it up with more pleasant images, where cross-sectional images imitate flowers, leaves, waves or other nature-related patterns.
Submit your cases that illustrate the fascinating interplay between humans and nature and showcase your diagnostic skills that eventually pinpointed the environmental factor, using the template below, to [email protected] by the extended deadline of January 12, 2025.
Submission is now closed.
We have collected your best cases and will feature them in the interlude presentation of our case-based diagnosis session. Before and after, you can try to solve clinical cases from ten different fields in radiology, where specialists then help to highlight typical characteristics and differential diagnostic entities.
*Please note that the chosen submitted cases will be presented by the interlude speaker and not by the submitters.
