This course can be booked as is or complementary to the Intensive course surgical radiology training. Correct x-ray assessment is an indispensable skill in surgical and radiological specialties. Especially the examination of the growing bone is demanding in diagnosis and treatment, because they appear less frequently, the bones are partly cartilagous and therefore not vivid and the exact age of the patient and the potential of correction has to be kept in mind.

This course is specially designed to satisfy these needs. All anatomical regions of the growing skeleton with their particularities and specific demands are discussed. Additionally the relevant criteria for treatment are discussed.

Besides the discussion of the relevant pathologies an interactive software training with 2200 original x-rays from level-I clinics is an essential part of the course. These x-rays are assessed by every individual participant. The training simulates the emergency room by demonstrating original x-rays with normal and pathological findings and the trainee makes a final decision. The feedback if all pathologies were detected is given immediately by the software. By the selection from 3 level-1 clinics we can present all relevant pathologies to every trainee. By this method the “fast sight” of the experienced doctor is developed. Since the vast amount of images usually cannot be completed in the limited time of the course, every participant receives an unlimited license for the software and an USB stick. So the whole course can be completed, grooved and refreshed at home.

The training is adapted to the diagnosis and treatment of the growing bone. This shortens the time of the course itself and allows an individual training.

The application provides all features for a comprehensive training of x-ray assessment:
- short and concise introduction for every anatomical region
- a compilation of standard x-rays from newborn up to adult patients for ever anatomical region
- a special training tool for the training of bone landmarks in children and adults
- 2000 original x-rays which are revised by the trainee;
the feedback if all pathologies are detected is given immediately

The application is personalized and may be used by the participants only. It is installable for Microsoft Windows © XP or higher (3,5 GB free hard drive space needed), IOS / Apple © user need i.e. Wine Bottler but we strongly recommend the usage of a Windows-PC due to recurrent problems with IOS devices.).

The training is suitable for doctors who want to form a basic competence as well as for consultants to perfect their abilities.

Our aim is to add a valuable contribution to the education and qualification of doctors in order to minimize mistakes with personal and legal consequences.

Sincerely,
