Before the Report Comes Back: Mastering Emergency Imaging
Every emergency physician knows the moment:
You’re looking at the scan.
The report isn’t back.
And a decision has to be made.
The DevelopingEM Radiology Interpretation Workshop is built entirely around that moment.
The Reality of Emergency Imaging
In many settings:
- Radiology reports are delayed
- Subspecialty input is unavailable
- Decisions must be made immediately
This workshop focuses on:
- What you need to see
- What you must not miss
- How to act with uncertainty
A Practical, Case-Based Approach
Topics include:
- Upper limb X-rays: avoiding missed injuries
- Lower limb X-rays: key pitfalls
- CT brain: early interpretation strategies
- CT chest and abdomen: recognising critical pathology
- Ultrasound: problem-solving when resources are limited
Built Around Cognitive Errors
Missed injuries are rarely about knowledge alone.
They are about:
- Search patterns
- Satisfaction of search
- Cognitive bias
This workshop explicitly addresses these.
High-Yield, Clinically Focused
No unnecessary detail.
No radiology exam preparation.
Just:
- Practical interpretation
- Decision-making frameworks
- Real-world cases
Led by Clinicians Like You, Who Understand ED Practice
Faculty include:
- Dr John MacKenzie (Australia and Aotearoa)
- Dr Sohil Pothiawala (Singapore)
- Dr Nathan Trist (Australia)
- Dr Mark Newcombe (Australia)
Clinicians who:
- Work in emergency medicine
- Understand ED pressures
- Teach from experience
Why This Workshop Matters
Because imaging errors:
- Are common
- Are consequential
- Are preventable
So Join Us in Saint Lucia in November.
You will leave with:
- Structured approaches to Radiology Interpretation
- Improved detection of subtle findings
- Greater confidence in acting before reports are in
- New friends and colleagues in the Caribbean as half of the attendees will be supported regional delegates
