An extensive learning series containing eleven videos with specialist Marie-Aude Genain providing viewers with the confidence to examine and interpret basic and complex abdominal and thoracic radiographs as outlined below:

Abdominal Radiology Series:

This learning series covers the radiological interpretation of all organ systems in the abdominal cavity, with a focus on how to recognise normal and abnormal findings on abdominal radiographs, and how to extract the information on these radiographs which is useful for patient management.

Thoracic Radiology Series:

This learning series covers interpretation of lung patterns, radiographic examination of the cardiovascular system and of the mediastinum, thoracic boundaries and pleural space. Uses of contrast material for the radiographic interpretation of the thoracic cavity is also discussed, as well as how to recognise normal and abnormal findings on thoracic radiographs and to extract the information on radiographs that is useful for patient management.

Topics covered include:

Normal radiographic anatomy of the abdominal cavity

Radiology of the peritoneal and retroperitoneal spaces

Radiology of the uro-genital tract, GI tract and hepatobiliary system

Use of contrast medium in abdominal radiology

Interpretation of radiological studies of the abdomen

Normal radiographic anatomy of the thoracic cavity

Lung patterns and their interpretation

Examination and interpretation of the cardiovascular system with thoracic radiology

Radiographic evaluation of the pleural space, mediastinum and thoracic boundaries

Use of contrast medium in thoracic radiology
