FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

• About Eurorad

• What kind of cases can be found in EURORAD?

  The purpose of EURORAD is to provide a learning environment for radiologists and residents who are a member of ESR.

  The case can be approached as an unknown training case, and as a full case with diagnosis in the title. The cases stress educational point(s), and provide images of high quality, short clear captions pointing to findings, a clinical context in the case description, and a short focused discussion of issues relevant to clinical radiological practice. Only the clinical summary and images will be presented in the teaching case format. When submitting a case it is therefore important that you do not disclose the diagnosis in the clinical summary. The visitor can subsequently use a link to go to the full case.

  There are three categories: the majority of cases illustrate more common pathology, or normal variants. Rare or exceptional clinical cases are also included. All of these belong in the category clinical cases. The other two smaller categories are anatomy and research.
