COURSE INFORMATION
Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that increasingly burdens patients, caregivers, and healthcare systems. Radiologists play a crucial role in the diagnosis and monitoring of AD, primarily through the use of advanced imaging modalities such as MRI and PET scans. However, significant gaps and barriers exist in the current training and practices of radiologists, which need to be addressed to improve patient outcomes.
This course combines evidence-based educational strategies with flexible, accessible delivery methods to create an engaging, learner-centred experience. By integrating interactive elements, real-world application, and opportunities for learner influence, the course ensures that participants not only acquire knowledge but also develop the skills and confidence to apply it in their clinical practice.
Attention: You need to attend both days to receive a CME certificate!
