IDKD Workshops

Typically, a workshop consists of some introductory remarks on musculoskeletal radiology by the teacher, self-study of the case material, and discussion of the cases with the teacher in the remaining time. The teachers guide through the cases, discuss different diagnoses, present additional material and ask pertinent questions to participants.

IDKD Lectures

In addition, there are Highlight and Special Lectures presented daily by senior experts on "hot topics", new developments or political issues in radiology or associated sciences.

Film Reading Panel is a diagnostic competition open to all participants and teachers, based on selected cases with answers. Quiz answers need to be handed in prior to the Film Reading Panel. Prizes will be awarded to the participants with the best answers.

The case viewing is supported by a special software, uniquely developed for IDKD and drawing from the extensive expertise with electronic teaching accumulated by IDKD over the last years.

In 2018, IDKD will no longer provide the opportunity of renting a laptop. Participants are encouraged to bring their own laptops (PC or Mac) to view cases. 220V electric outletswill be available in the classrooms. Please make sure, that you have tested the IDKD Softwareon your computer before the Course.

The Syllabus containing the condensed version of the presented workshops is included in the registration fee. The IDKD Course participants will receive a printed version as well as access to the online files.
