Brain infections in disguise: radiologic pitfalls and pearls in complex hosts
Ana Ramos Gonzalez, Madrid / Spain
- To learn to recognise typical and atypical imaging patterns of brain infections in immunocompromised and clinically complex patients.
- To understand common diagnostic pitfalls and how the appropriate choice of imaging technique and timing can help avoid misinterpreting infectious findings.
- To gain practical strategies to improve diagnostic accuracy and support clinical decision-making in this increasingly diverse and challenging population.
16 min
Decoding non-multiple sclerosis central nervous system demyelinating disorders
Majda M. Thurnher, Vienna / Austria
- To develop a solid approach to identifying CNS demyelination beyond classic multiple sclerosis, using appropriate imaging protocols and updated diagnostic strategies.
- To learn how to differentiate key patterns in inflammatory and autoimmune demyelinating conditions, including recognising newer radiological features.
- To understand when to consider alternative diagnoses and how radiological interpretation can guide early classification and influence patient management.
16 min
Toxins in the brain: essential insights for radiologists on creating clinically useful reports
Leandro Tavares Lucato, São Paulo / Brazil
- To become familiar with the imaging presentations of toxic and metabolic brain disorders, and learn to recognise patterns suggestive of specific underlying etiologies.
- To understand when to consider a toxic-metabolic process and how to incorporate it meaningfully into your differential diagnosis.
- To learn how to tailor your report to highlight findings that support clinical suspicion, inform prognosis, and prompt appropriate follow-up.
