  • Identify common pitfalls in radiology in Critical care patients.
  • Understand the evolution of radiology in patients with ARDS and those receiving extracorporeal life support.

This trainees' evening will explore:

  • Chest X ray and CT interpretation for the Intensivist
  • Recognition of important pathology and pitfalls
  • Infections
  • Pulmonary embolism
  • Interstitial lung disease
  • ARDS and ECMO Radiology
