Head and neck: subtle signs versus mimickers of acute infections
Idil Güneş Tatar, Leuven / Belgium
- To recognise the subtle imaging signs of acute infections in the head and neck.
- To differentiate between acute infections and mimicking conditions, such as neoplasms, vascular malformations, and inflammatory diseases, based on imaging features.
- To understand the diagnostic workup and clinical decision-making process for distinguishing acute infections from other neurological and non-neurological mimickers in the emergency setting.
12 min
Chest: from normal to abnormal. Features of anatomic variants versus minor emergencies
Jonas Anužis, Vilnius / Lithuania
- To identify common anatomic variants in thoracic imaging, including pulmonary, vascular, and skeletal anomalies, and understand their normal variants versus pathologic findings.
- To distinguish between benign findings and minor thoracic emergencies.
- To evaluate imaging findings that may suggest the need for further investigation or intervention, especially in patients presenting with minor thoracic symptoms that could be easily misinterpreted.
12 min
Abdomen: subtle signs of small and large bowel ischaemia
Mariano Scaglione, Naples / Italy
- To recognise the early and subtle imaging signs of small and large bowel ischaemia.
- To differentiate between the imaging features of ischaemia and other conditions that may mimic bowel ischaemia.
- To understand the role of advanced imaging modalities in diagnosing and assessing the severity of mesenteric ischaemia and guiding clinicians.
12 min
Paediatrics: subtle signs of MSK infections in the paediatric patient
Laura S Kox, Leiden / Netherlands
- To recognise the subtle imaging signs of musculoskeletal infections in paediatric patients.
- To differentiate between musculoskeletal infections and other conditions in children that may present with similar symptoms.
- To understand the role of imaging in the staging and management of paediatric musculoskeletal infections.
