This course is designed to demonstrate how contrast media work in a variety of established imaging techniques, to understand the reasons behind the choice of contrast for each procedure and the risk and benefits of each contrast agent.
It will benefit trainees in radiology and established consultant radiologists wishing to keep abreast of the new contrast agents, and their use with established and new imaging techniques. The course will also act as essential CPD for radiographers working in any of the imaging disciplines.

Educational aims:

To cover the basics of physics for the Royal College of Radiology examinations
To provide a forum to discuss areas of difficulty
To provide access to experts in the workshops to explore areas of difficulty
To provide a fun and relaxed approach to revision
