Description

This course provides imaging technologists with a blend of foundational skills and advanced diagnostic insights for patients with pneumonia. It covers essential protocols in patient care, communication, and radiation safety, while providing a comprehensive overview of heart and lung anatomy, along with common imaging for pulmonary infections. The readings also explore the transformative role of Artificial Intelligence in diagnosing pneumonia, along with specific use examples across multiple imaging modalities.

Did you know?

AI algorithms have been developed that can diagnose pneumonia from a chest X-ray more accurately than expert radiologists working alone.
